Standing outside Humpback Mountain, you see a mountain that never moves. Unless you have already been inside the mountain, you cannot begin to imagine what exists inside Humpback Mountain: an always growing, always changing Linville Caverns and a constant running stream. The caverns are no less real when you are standing on the outside of the mountain than they are when you are standing inside the mountain. While there is much beauty on the outside of Humpback Mountain, if you only look at the obvious on the outside of the mountain and walked away feeling you understood it completely – you would have missed the most glorious part of all.
When I look at the outside of Humpback Mountain, I am reminded of God’s faithfulness, how BIG He is, how dependable He is. But just like the mountain, if all I ever knew about God was his faithfulness and how BIG He is, it would not begin to describe all of who He is.
God is speaking to us today – to search for more of Him. Knowing God from the outside is not enough. Jesus invites us to have a personal relationship with Him. Get to know Him “on the inside”. Knowing God means knowing more than who He is and what He does – it is spending time to develop a deep relationship with Him.
Don’t accept that you know God because of what you see in the world, what you have been taught by others, or what you have experienced. Get to know God from the inside. Open the door to your “mountain” and let Him speak to your heart.
Seek God with all of your heart….
