David Jeremiah told a story of a Bible scholar climbing a famous mountain in Switzerland.
The weather was good on their side of the mountain—with a severe storm on the other side, unknown to the two climbers.
When they got close to the summit, the man ran ahead the last few yards with the exhilaration of reaching the mountaintop.
The surprise blast from the storm on the other side nearly blew him off the edge.
His guide grabbed him, saved his life, and yelled, “On your knees, on your knees, you are safe only on your knees here on top of the mountain.”
Don’t need to explain the lesson for life learned by the Bible scholar.
I can say I’ve applied that many times since I heard it, when I’ve been on a mountaintop and when I thought I was on a mountaintop.
