The word transfiguration means "visibly glorified, or an actual visible change in the body." Imagine witnessing Jesus being visibly glorified, as Peter, James and John did. On that mountain top, they witnessed a life changing event.
In the Bible, mountains symbolize secure, comfortable places where the power and serenity of God are tangible things. You can be tempted at your highest peak but you can seek that place of solitude for pray as well. We have also noted that life's highest peaks are sometimes followed by valleys that will change your life. Other Biblical events occurring on mountains include: Abraham almost sacrificing his son, Moses and the burning bush, and Moses receiving the ten commandments, Jesus' transfiguration, and of course the crucifixion of Jesus. I hope you have been to the top of the mountain, have seen Jesus, and that He has changed your life.
When you reach that spiritual mountian it will be a life changing event. If you continue to reach for jesus he will take you to the highest peaks even during those deepest valleys.
PRAYER:
Pray for God to help you through the changes in your life. Even if you think you are at a spiritual peak, pray to reach higher and attain even a greater "spiritual mountain."
