“How can I curse someone God has not cursed? How can I denounce someone the Lord has not denounced? I see them from the top of rocky cliffs, and I watch them from the hills. There is a people living alone; it does not consider itself among the nations.” -Numbers 23:8-9

There are those who do not know the name of the LORD, who are not experiencing the abounding love and joy there is in God. To love one another—to love your neighbor—is to share joys with them; and the greatest joy is Jesus. God has not forgotten his people, why would we shut them out? God calls us to look out from the cliffs, to search out the lost as he is. Some may reject you and you feel as though you’re at the bottom of a cliff, unable to reach people or get them to see the joys that you are experiencing. Do not despair! For the Lord sees them from the top of cliffs, and may use you, even if it is only minimally. He is the one who makes the seed grow.

Climbing this 150 meter cliff requires a lot of effort, and yet it has some beautiful views and really shows God’s work. I have endurance to keep going because I’m focused on Jesus and who he is; taking delight in him, not in his presence or blessings specifically, but in him alone. God has called us to a purpose, to come to him. There are some in this world who don’t know this purpose, who don’t understand the joys and comfort available to them. All this effort to be on the side of a cliff holding onto the rock face or onto ropes just to see a beach; what a thing people will do, how much more enjoyable it is when you know the creator personally! When the maker of heaven and earth has not cursed you, and instead sought you out!
