How To Read Scripture, Part 22

The summit obviously refers to the top of the mountain. Clearly no one ever reaches the peak knowing all there is about Scripture. While truth is gained through the climb, the summit offers perspective. We can see what lies below. We can see the world scrambling around trying to figure life out. Scientists study diligently for clues about how life began, but we already know if we have read God’s Word. Philosophers ponder the meaning of life, but we already know because we have studied His precepts. Religion seeks to explain how man can reach God, but we already know because we have memorized His statutes. The high tech crowd seeks to make life better, but we already know because we have meditated day and night on principles that have made us wiser than our teachers. This is not a prideful attitude, but one in which the truth has set us free. This is not arrogance, because we will be humbled by the climb. So put on your boots! We have some hiking to do. That's the way I see things.
