Go Up the Mountain.

 "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." Isaiah 2:3

This is an excerpt from Charles Spurgeon:

"It is exceedingly beneficial to our souls to mount above this present evil world to something nobler and better. 

The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches are apt to choke everything good within us, and we grow fretful, desponding, perhaps proud and carnal.

It is well for us to cut down these thorns and briers, for heavenly seed sown among them is not likely to yield a harvest; 

and where shall we find a better sickle with which to cut them down than communion with God and the things of the kingdom?"

It is so easy to be filled with thoughts of this world. We have to make a strong effort to take our eyes off of it and look towards God each day. But those times are like going up a beautiful mountain where you can see the truth about life and how it is really meant to be lived.
