Don't ever let up - Keep Climbing!

“Something in human nature tempts us to stay where we’re comfortable. We try to find a plateau, a resting place, where we have comfortable stress and adequate finances. Where we have comfortable associations with people, without the intimidation of meeting new people and entering strange situations.
Of course, all of us need to plateau for a time. We climb and then plateau for assimilation. But once we’ve assimilated that we’ve learned, we climb again. It’s unfortunate when we’ve done our last climb. When we have made our last climb, we are old, whether forty or eighty,“ author Fred Smith.

The unfortunate situation is that we can have that last climb at 40 or 80 or even younger than that. May we never stop climbing when it comes to doing things for God’s kingdom or for our own growth in the Lord. May we continue to stretch ourselves and keep climbing to be the people that He desires. I am talking about record-breaking climbs like Mount Everest that was accomplished several years ago. Let’s dream big dreams for what He is calling us to. May we (PF church) never get tired of climbing the mountain of God because at the top of the mountain is a beautiful panoramic view of the glory of God.
