Devotional

We often think of mountaintop experiences as moments of pure joy and celebration, but some of life's most transformative moments come through sacrifice and challenge. Just as Abraham climbed Mount Moriah with his son Isaac, prepared to sacrifice what he loved most, our own spiritual mountains often involve letting go of something precious. These moments test our trust in God's character and promises. The beauty is that when we're willing to surrender what we hold dear, we position ourselves to receive something even greater from God's hand.

Bible Verse

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. - Hebrews 4:14-16

Reflection Question

What is God asking you to surrender today, and what might He want to give you in return?

Quote We think mountaintop experiences are the experiences that are void of suffering and sacrifice. But I present to you this morning that mountaintop experiences are filled with sacrifice, commitment and suffering.

Prayer

Lord, give me the courage to climb my mountain of sacrifice. Help me trust that Your plans are better than anything I'm holding onto. Grant me the strength to let go and the faith to believe in Your provision. Amen.
