We have heard people speak of amazing times in their lives as being 'mountain top experiences'.  They are referring to those occasions when the most wonderful time was had; when the adventure just past couldn't have been planned more wonderfully.  It is those occasions we will try over and over again to duplicate, but, to no avail.

Mark 9:2-4 (NIV) 
After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus." 

The saying, 'mountain top experience' has to have its origin in the Scripture reading for today, when Christ was transfigured right before their eyes. Peter was enjoying the moment so much he wanted to build a house right there and live on the mountain top.  

I have had an experience or two where I felt it could never be topped.  There would never be another moment in time when I felt as I did this very minute. But God keeps working His wonders in my life daily.

I am coming to recognize those special events in my life don't need all the drum-roll or fanfare.  Amazing things happen every day when we truly walk with Jesus.  When our eyes and hearts are open to all that He is doing in and around us we can recognize special moments daily.  God is in the little things.  God provides the little things to give us great joy.
