"Leap" Year

"The Lord God is my strength, and he will make

my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make

me to walk upon mine high places.."

(Habakkuk 3:19)

It's time to dance,  jump, and leap children!  

The Lord will make our feet like hinds' feet, and those high places we will traverse easily.  One commentary says we will, "spring from height to height."  We will end up on a high rock looking down on the whole world below our feet and upward on high.  Beautiful. isn't it?  For the child of God, every year is "Leap" Year!

Hinds and harts, are called by the poets, "the brazen footed hinds or harts," because of the firmness and stability of their going, and it has been observed that the feet of the females stand firmer and more upright than the feet of the males.  We can make the application then, for this writing, that the "Bride" of Christ, the Church, will move in high places, will climb to heights of splendor and glory, will soar in the Spirit of mountain altitudes  ...  and sure-footed shall she be, standing on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, no matter how treacherous the terrain of the world shall become.  She has hinds' feet; she will tread upon serpents and scorpions, and nothing shall by any means hurt her. (Luke 10:19) She is equipped with the full armor of God, and she has angels on either side  ...  She is The Church, and she will prevail!

Persecution doesn't thwart the Church, it only makes her stronger; she sings in the prison cell, worships in the lions' den, dances in the fiery furnace, jumps over walls of doubt and ridicule, shouts with a voice of triumph - because death has no sting, and she stands with the Holy of Holies inside of her, speaking with the tongues of the Spirit.  She's a Hallelujah Anyhow, a raider of the Enemy's Camp, a Saint Marchin' In, a "Fly Away" girl, a receiver of Amazin' Love, a singer of the Revelation Song, and she rises in prayer early, because There's A Little Bit O' Mornin' Outside!  

We have reached the mountain top, Saints, and it's time to look up and practice our flight.  What flight?  The Rapture of the Church.  LEAP for joy, rejoice in the Lord your God, praise Him in the sanctuary, Worship Him in the fires of the altar, dance before your King, and Shout to the heavens  ...  The tabernacle of David is with men; and lovers of God are joining the angels with the Holy, Holy, Holy in the ethereal heavenly chorus  ...  It's time to leap  ...

We are lofty mountain dwellers,  all ye children of the King; we "Breathe In" the oxygen of High places; we have hinds' feet that hold on because Nobody Told Us The Road Would Be Easy; Amazing Grace steadies us on the crags; and we've climbed this far, so we'll Go Tell It On The Mountain that Jesus Christ was born!

It's time, Church!  We have come to the pinnacle, and now we can hold nothing back.  We must cooperate with the time, the season, the appointed moment, the leap of faith, the leap for joy, the leap of worship, the leap because you know that you know, the leap in practice for the "Thief" ...  It's always "Leap" Year!
