We Go High!

We go high when our steps are ordered by the Word, to resist the depths of low situations; our feet never meant to tread upon the darkness of dangerous paths alone. When weighted burdens drag us through the treachery of merciless thickets and recklessness summons us into the deadly subterfuge of skillfully baited traps, He gives us wings. When rivers rise to subdue the purity of good intensions and barbarous predators stalk the secret paths of the innocent to spill their blood for sport we go high for Him and He protects us with the sword of the Spirit. When foolish trust is compromised and the security of our shaken spirits has been decimated; even in our utter disgust, we’re lifted as we go high. We go high when the ordinances of fair play lay buried beneath the coded literacy of limited opportunity and true intensions rage behind the temporary suppression of vitriol wrapped in satiny smiles and He clothes us in discernment. When the train to safety whizzes by and never makes a stop at our depot of optimism, we stretch out our arms to Jesus, the author of optimism and again, we go high.

We go high in the fullness of the mission before us, avoiding the temptation for self pity and the ineffectiveness evoked through idle minds and hands. Battling a culture of interrelated mistreatment and a common theme of disappointment we choose to bypass the misery of betrayal and rise to the culture of the King as we go high. We go high as we stare into the fear of uncertainty and He reminds us that He is the personification of a certainty and the antithesis of fear. When long-suffering wears through the tender endurance of battered enthusiasm, we are quenched by the power of His Word as we go yet higher.

When the world goes low the vortex of negativity threatens to engulf the stability of human orderliness. Fear flows like water, meandering its way through openings in search of the weakest point of resistance but God’s order is never unstable. God is faithful and faithfulness in God will take us to the heights of our ability to commit to Him as long as we continue to go high. When we go high we never stop working, we never stop praying, we never stop loving and we never forget how to avoid the thing that tempted us to go low.

So, go high America. Let’s go high. Jesus is the ultimate high and we can never reach Him unless we go high.

“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
