Mountaintop experiences are great. We need them every once in an awhile to regroup, refresh, and revive. But we are called to live there. God does His best work in us and with us while we are in the valley.
Look at 1 Kings 18:16-46
When I focus in the emotional high I place performance over people.
When I focus in the emotional high I make me the messiah.
When I focus in the emotional high I think bigger is better.
When I focus in the emotional high I replace righteousness with running.
Moses. On the mountaintop he missed his purpose.
Peter. On the mountaintop he missed the people.
Elijah. On the mountaintop he missed the pain.
Pain is where we grow.
Pain is where we learn.
Pain is where we model Christ. Philippians 3:10-11
