The Summit

If your goal is to ascend to His summit, do not indulge your attention in the beautiful things that line the road before you.

The world is full of things that want your attention. Some are beautiful, some are fascinating, some appear important, and some even disguise themselves as wisdom. Yet all of them share one thing in common: they ask you to stop and look at them.

The flower asks to be admired. The stone asks to be collected. The waterfall invites you to remain a little longer and enjoy its freshness. None of these things are evil, and none of them are wrong. The danger lies elsewhere.

The danger is forgetting where you were going.

The more attention you give to the things of the world, the further the summit seems to move into the distance. Not because the summit has changed, but because your gaze has left it.

Nothing of this world can give you what awaits at the top. Therefore guard your attention carefully. Do not become intoxicated by the beauty of the roadside and do not lose yourself in the countless distractions that surround you.

Keep your eyes on the summit.

The question is not whether you are busy. The question is not whether you are moving. The question is whether your attention still rests upon God, or whether it has wandered off into the flowers along the path.

Are you still climbing?
