There is only one way, and that way leads up the mountain, to meet with my Lord who calls out "Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you".
How often do I still choose the easier way of staying down in the valley, building my golden calf according to the knowledge that I have of how I should behave as a Christian. It all looks nice and shiny, and people admire my 'refined life', but it's just a fascade, made with my own hands, like an upgraded fig leave covering my nakedness.
In the valley my 'self' thrives,
on the mountain it surely dies.
In the valley all I see is ME,
On the mountain HE gives me true identity.
In the valley I make God into an image of my own,
on the mountain I'm changed into His, the image of a Son.
