Journey Down


'Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, May you come with me from Lebanon. Journey down from the summit of Amana, From the summit of Senir and Hermon, From the dens of lions, From the mountains of leopards.' Song of Solomon 4:8
"We're so full of pride, we're so full of vanity, we're always walking in high places where we dont belong. Vanity fair is where our flesh wants to live... and God is saying 'come buy from Me, come down from those places that can not feed you, come down from those places that can do you no good and come down from those dangerous haunts.' ...You should fear what self can do to you... Your flesh has the keenest ability to make an idol out of absolutely anything. Your flesh can take the bible and use it and create a idol out of knowledge, create an idol out of ministry, even that which is good and holy and right. He says, come down."
