On The Mountain

My wife asked me to pick up a prescription at the store for her
tonight. She has a cough and we are getting ready to go on a
vacation for four days. I left work after seven and headed to
the store.

It was crowded at the pharmacy counter. Both pharmacists looked
harried and tired after a long day and each customer in the
makeshift line didn't look any fresher. I stood there about five
minutes in a line that really was no line at all.

My wife's prescription had been called in but most of the folk
waiting in line had their prescriptions called in. There is
nothing to try your patience like waiting in a seemingly slow
moving line.

I started smiling.

Why? I can't exactly answer that. I just did.

I started thinking.

First of all, I wasn't sick. Not that I was gloating or being
condescending, I just realized that every person getting
medicine was more than likely sick with something. It was a
blessing just to be well.

Secondly, I wasn't in a hurry. How many times do we hurry up and
wait? We rush rush rush when we really don't need to. If a
person in front of us takes more than three seconds to go when
the light turns green, we get upset. We rush home to relax and
have to spend an hour trying to unwind from the rushing that
saved us two minutes.

Well, I just relaxed while standing in line.

So I smiled.

Third, I felt the mountaintop.

I realized all over again (each situation in life grants you the
opportunity) that the mountaintop is really not a physical
place, it is a state of mind. When Martin Luther King Jr. said,
"I've been to the mountaintop" he wasn't talking about an actual
mountain. He was in the midst of struggle and rocks and hate
mail and jail. He was talking about a state of mind.

He could stand on the mountain even in the midst of struggle.
He could stand on the mountain even with rocks thrown at him.
He could stand on the mountain with venomous calls and hate mail
daily. He could even stand on the mountain - sitting in jail.

So I smiled.

My smile got so big and obvious that the lady behind the counter
beckoned to me and said, "what's the name?" "Bronner" I replied.
She immediately went and got the prescription even though
everyone else was there before me. She then brought the lady's
prescription IN FRONT of me.

The lady in front of me turned to me and said, "being around you
must have brought me favor." She recognized that she had been
there for a long time before I got there and still had not been
able to get her prescription and suddenly both of us had our
prescriptions ahead of the crowd. I knew she had been there a
long time because I had heard her mumbling angrily in line. She
sensed something out of the ordinary had happened.

I tell you this to remind you that life will always present to
you the opportunity for the mountain or the valley. Always
understand that among animals and man far more live in the
valley than on the mountain and you do have a choice, even if
you feel you are sitting in jail.

And there really may be someone throwing rocks at you.

It wasn't so much that the pharmacist saw me smiling or
recognized me. She saw me standing in a place where the crowd
wasn't. She saw the mountain.

Even if they are throwing rocks, remember,
The higher you are on the mountain
The harder it is to get hit.

Now just close your eyes and feel the cool fresh wind of the
mountain

And don't forget to smile.

FOUR WORDS

A king called all of his wise men and counselors together for a
meeting. He addressed them and said, "I want you to go and
think, read, and research. Consult the wisest and most learned
men in the land. Spare no expense."

"I want you to find the ONE statement that will get me through
all situations in life. Whether I am on top of the world or in
the pits, find that statement."

"Find me a MountainWings Moment statement."

"I don't want to learn long and complicated philosophies.
I want one simple statement. Find it or write it; I don't care,
just bring me the statement."

The men left and consulted for months.
They finally returned and handed the King a scroll.

The King unrolled the scroll. On it was written four words.

"THIS TOO SHALL PASS"

That was it.

The wise men explained.

When you are on top of the world, that is but a fleeting
moment, things change, always remember, this too shall pass.

When you are in the pits, all nights are followed by day, at
your lowest moments remember also, this too shall pass.

All external circumstances and material things change.

No matter what your circumstances, remember,

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

The wise men reminded the great King that this would get him
through his earthly things but the truly wise knew there were
things beyond this earth and life. . .

Things that were eternal.

True wisdom they reminded the King was in the ability to
recognize the fleeting temporal things of the material world
from the truly eternal things.

O Great King they said, "Most of the things that you worry or
gloat about are temporary and our four words apply."

For most of your situations. . .


THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

He is our Rock!

I learnt something today from klove, a Christian radio.. When things get tough n there is no way out, look to God up there for He is greater than all problems! We can rest assured that nothing is bigger than God!

Verse from Ephesians

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13, 14)

Verse from 3 John

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. —3 John 1:11

Verse from John

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. —John 14:6

Verse from Psalms

Verse from. 2 Corinthians

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Thank you, dear Father, for all the incredible blessings you have poured into our lives. You have richly blessed us physically and spiritually. Now we ask that your Spirit will help us be generous with the gifts you have so richly given to us. May our lives, O LORD, be a consistent conduit of your blessings so that others may come to know your grace. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Verse from james

Blessed is the man who endures temptation. —James 1:12

Verse from Ephesians

Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. —Ephesians 6:6
If we do our work merely to earn a paycheck or satisfy a supervisor or a lecturer or a person such as a leader in church or cell group, we will fall short of the highest motivation—doing our best as evidence of our devotion to God. So, why do we work? we work “to the glory of God.”

Verse from Isaiah

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.
—Isaiah 9:2
As darkness falls tonight, look out at a street light and capture it in your memory so that every time you see a light shining in the darkness it will remind you to do two things: give thanks to God for sending his light and commit yourself to sharing that light with those you know.

Verse from Romans

That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. —Romans 15:6
Unity among believers comes from our union with Christ.
