Those moments are moments of insight which we have to live up to when we do not feel like it. Many of us are no good for this workaday world when there is no high hour. We must bring our commonplace life up to the standard revealed in the high hour.<br>Never allow a feeling which was stirred in you in the high hour to evaporate. Don\u2019t put your mental feet on the mantelpiece and say \u2014 \u201cWhat a marvellous state of mind to be in!\u201d Act immediately, do something, if only because you would rather not do it. If in a prayer meeting God has shown you something to do, don\u2019t say \u2014 \u201cI\u2019ll do it\u201d; do it! Take yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your incarnate laziness. Laziness is always seen in cravings for the high hour; we talk about working up to a time on the mount. We have to learn to live in the grey day according to what we saw on the mount.<br>Don\u2019t cave in because you have been baffled once, get at it again. Burn your bridges behind you, and stand committed to God by your own act. Never revise your decisions, but see that you make your decisions in the light of the high hour.<br>By Oswald Chambers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While ye have light, believe in the light. \u2014 John 12:36 We all have moments when we feel better than our best, and we say \u2014 \u201cI feel fit for anything; if only I could be like this always!\u201d We are not meant to be.
