Who may dwell on Your Holy Hill…He who swears to his own hurt and does not change – Psalm 15:4
Do you want to live an elevated life? Then you must choose to dwell on God’s Holy Hill. To dwell on God’s Holy Hill is about living in an elevated place (Hill) that is different and set-apart (Holy) from where others are in the world in the presence of God. King David in Psalm 15 tell us that one of the ways to accomplish this goal is to swear to our own hurt and not to change. Put another way, we should mean what we say and do what we say even when it requires great sacrifice and it hurts. This is what it means to be a person of integrity and character. If you are a person of integrity and character, people will put their trust in you and you will find yourself being elevated in different spheres of life! Beloved, I know it is natural for you to want a change when things start to hurt. Yet, change is often not the right answer. To live an elevated life requires that you are committed and persistent, especially when things are not going the way you would like. Things won’t always go the way you like and there will be tests. But tests are opportunities to rely on God’s wisdom so you can come out of them with testimonies. Stick to character and integrity and you will enjoy a life of joy, goodness, and the fulfilment of God’s promises.
I will not allow storms to abort my journey but will ask God how to navigate the storms
