I don't know where to begin today. Chambers' writing hits me on so many fronts that it is hard to separate out what to concentrate on. Maybe the best thing is just to read it in its entirety and let it all hit me at once.

What happens after a high point in my life? Several possibilities exist.
1.There are moments of insight that need to be lived up to, even when I do not feel like
it.
2. The feeling that was shown by God in the high hour can be allowed to evaporate.
3. Make decisions in the light of that high hour.
4. Don't give up when I goof up.
When God shines His light into my life, I can try to stay up on the mountain, or I can live out the light in the valleys of my everyday experience. Too often I know what to do and how to live, but just know it and not let my life be characterized by that knowledge.
If God speaks into my life, I don't need to worship the fact of the speaking, I need to act on it. Even when the response is not very prompt, it may not be too late to be obedient.
I think of the Nike commercial and relate it to a high moment of prompting by God. "Just do it". Not just know it, but actually do it.
"Obedience is better that sacrifice." (I Samuel 15:22)
