An
unlikely invitation from me: Let’s get high!
This
is what many live for--ever higher highs.
One
steps up to the next -- ever reaching.
To
others, the meaning’s quite demeaning.
We
seek highs from:
--Our
bonus checks and account balances
--Our
fanciful, sexual ecstasies
--Our
pharmaceutical preparations
--Our
prestige in work and social functions
Back
in the day, ‘high’ was along hills and mountains.
Now
it’s upper echelons of the horizon.
God
says, ‘I’ll cause you to ride on earth’s
high places’,
And,
‘I’ll set you on high’, as in His showcases.*
To
you He extends His invitation, ‘C’mon,
let’s get high!’
His
high reaches beyond what we can buy or see with our eye.
It’s
attained by rebirth into ‘the world of Christ’,
His
highest of highs -- the only one
that will suffice.
The
best high comes not from our prideful manipulations.
Nor
does it come from pharmaceutical preparations.
The
best high comes when before Christ, low we bow,
And
when before Him, our pride we disavow.
So
c’mon, let’s get really HIGH!
High In God’s Heaven!
Heaven Is God’s High!
