When I look at majestic mountains, a thick forest of trees, or a carpet of delicate flowers, I see the Maker. The wonder and awe of creation fills me, and I can’t help but look heavenward and praise God for His amazing creation. But does that moment of admiration and praise replace worshiping with fellow believers? No. God knows we need the support and encouragement and even the accountability of a body of believers to help us stay true to our faith. Yes, you can worship alone on a mountaintop, but remember to meet with and encourage your fellow believers, too. We need each other as evil runs rampant and the day of Christ’s return approaches.
