High places are not a new phenomenon. You can read all about it in the book of 2 Kings. It is recorded that many kings enthroned chose not to tear down high places., though it is recorded that there was one that broke the mold. Nonetheless, we are not any different at times. We tend to still have some high places erected in our lives. 2 Corinthians 10:5 explicitly speaks of them, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  They may come in a variety of ways such as achievements, successes, people, fractured and ruminating thoughts, statuses, desires and so much more. All of which, are taking the place of God in our lives. I encourage you to venture with me about this sobering reality that many face today and the dangers of “high places” remaining in our lives.
