Thought for the day: Matthew 5:1
Seeing the multitude, he went up into a mountain.
Seeing the multitude, he went up into a mountain.
When you see something big it lifts you out of yourself.
I always get a great blessing and a wonderful lift when I see the Rocky Mountains in Colorado or New Mexico. There is something strong and sturdy about the mountains. They give me assurance that everything is not falling into pieces.
In the summer of 1952 I spent several days at Princeton seminary in New Jersey. With some friends I made my first trip to the ocean. As we were riding the waves I could not help thinking of the unlimited power and strength of the great ocean.
As I stood on the observation roof of the National Broadcasting Company building at Rockefeller Center, New York, I was impressed with the vast extent of the vision from that vantage point.
You will remember that Jesus often slipped away from the crowds. He would get into a boat and go out on the sea. Or he would go up into the mountains to pray.
A physician gave this prescription to a patient: "Get off and look at something big." We cannot all go to the mountains or the ocean or look out across a great city but we can all "Get off and look at something big."
"Unto thee lift I up mine eyes. O thou that dwellest in the heavens."
