INTRODUCTION
There are devotional books by the hundreds and they are written by some really big names, so why in the world would I write another Devotional book, was the question I was asking myself! But after much urging from my husband and a discussion with our Pastor, who said this could be a legacy for me to leave for my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren, and it occurred to me to be a good way to save all the texts I have been sending to my grandchildren for the last several years. So because I wanted to be able to keep these special truths in front of them when I am gone, I decided to put My High Places together in book form, in order that after I am gone, they will be able at any time to pick up this little book and go through my texts to be reminded of all God’s truths I sent them through the years and of how much I loved them and prayed for them.
The story about my text message Devotionals came about as my grandchildren were getting older and of course, each had a phone. As I prayed about staying in touch with them, it seemed to be a good idea for me to use their phones to stay close and why not put a scripture and a prayer in each text, in order that they could learn how to use scripture in their prayers. So, I began. As time has gone by, I have added others to my text group: my children and their spouses, my siblings, my special friends, some of my brothers and sisters from church and their children. My little group has gotten larger!
God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. (Habakkuk 3:19 ESV)
God is using my experience of serving and loving my group of readers, to grow my knowledge of Him and to show me more of His love for me and for them. He is making me tread on MY HIGH PLACES. One of these days all of us will be called to even higher places. Where all will be gathered to praise our God on the hill of the Lord. My prayer for my grandchildren and any other readers of this book is that God will make you learn to tread on your high places too.
