Ascending to Spiritual Heights

Ascending to Spiritual Heights…

The distractions and allurements of this world can easily stifle the good within us, leading to discontent, despair, and a focus on earthly desires. To truly flourish, our spirits need to rise above these temporal concerns and seek something greater.

Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. — Isaiah 2:3

Just as stagnant air in a valley breeds sickness, dwelling solely on worldly matters can leave us feeling drained and unwell.However, by ascending to a higher spiritual plane through communion with God and His kingdom, we can clear away the obstacles that hinder our growth.

This ascent is like climbing a mountain, leaving behind the unhealthy atmosphere of the lowlands to breathe the fresh, invigorating air of the heights. We are invited to leave behind the mists of fear and the fevers of anxiety that gather in this earthly existence and ascend to the mountains of joy and blessedness that await us.

Too often, we become comfortable with the very things that hold us back, like chained eagles who have grown accustomed to their bonds. May the Spirit of God grant us the strength to break free, at least in spirit, and to ascend to a place of deep connection with the Most High. May our souls, leaving the concerns of the body behind, reach the summit of spiritual communion.

Heavenly Father, we humbly ask for Your grace and strength to lift our hearts and minds above the fleeting concerns of this world. Cut away the cords that bind us to earthly anxieties and help us to ascend to the heights of spiritual understanding and communion with You. Grant us the clarity to see beyond the mists of fear and the resilience to overcome the fevers of worry. May our spirits soar like eagles, unburdened and free, to find true joy and blessedness in Your presence. Amen.

Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in You.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
