Climbing Up the Mountain

As I worked on my paper this week I thought a lot more about the importance of one-on-one encounters with God. We know that this is a basic understanding of what it is to be in relationship with God, and yet it so often gets lost in the shuffle of life. This cannot be. Not only can this not be for a follower of Christ, it most certainly cannot be for a leader of God's church. Without spending time with God how can we expect to discern His will? How do we expect to lead in a Godly manner?

God met Moses regularly. However, Moses still had to put for the effort to meet God on the mountain. Moses had to make the choice to meet with God. It did happen automatically or randomly, it happened intentional. God is always ready to come and meet with us, but we have to be willing to put forth the effort to meet with Him. As a result, transformational leadership will have to happen. This is because we are meeting with God. What other outcome would you expect?
