The Aztec Indians of South America and Mexico built high altars to sacrifice human life to false gods. High places were places of counterfeit worship. They can be places of true worship. We do not offer human sacrifices but so often we sacrifice our money and our very life for the trivial. We go in big debt to finance trivial pursuits.
Some mountain men are weird hermits.
Others go to escape religion. You will gain a rich and deep blessing if you go on these outdoor experiences with Jesus. With your Bible. Go to gain a blessing. Come to pray.
