Give us this mountain, Lord!

Will we, like Caleb pray and strive to be those who fulfill the destiny of inheriting the vision of our forefathers?

Matthew 18:10  Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Revelation 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

Perhaps each of these beasts were era's of the church. First, like a lion eating unrighteousness and establishing Biblical precedents. Second learning to live as a calf, chewing the cud of truth and learning to establish traditions of uprightness. Third, seeing humanity affected by Scripture in family practice and in governing, more broadly. And then lastly, the mountain that I seek, living above the fray of circumstances. Learning to see the distances that we must traverse to grow in grace and build a world that lives and walks circumspectly. Lord, may it be, that whether our forefathers meant to or not in choosing our eagle as our land's bird, that we be in the last category and inherit, not just their government, but the new Heavens and the new Earth. For Christ's Glory, amen
