What he Said … Head for the Mountaintop

In John 10:10, Jesus says, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (NKJV).

Now, I want to be specific about the abundant life God has for us. If we don't look closely at the kind of life God desires for us, we can be fooled into believing that whatever we have experienced with God so far is all there is—when in fact there are mountain peaks of greater experience still waiting for us.

[This week] we'll look at a few of the promises that God makes to us in his Word—promises of blessings that can be ours when we follow him. [As you read about each promise,] compare your own experience with what God has made available. Have you experienced God in this way? Or are you still camping far down the mountain? If you realize you have not yet experienced some of these promises, allow them to give you a view of the mountaintop, and to inspire you to leave camp and follow Jesus' lead.
