Going from weeds to the mountain tops:

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLV) "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne." Isaiah 52:7-12 (NLV): "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! The watchmen shout and sing with joy, for before their very eyes they see the Lord returning to Jerusalem. Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song, for the Lord has comforted his people. He has REDEEMED Jerusalem. The Lord has demonstrated his HOLY POWER before the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the VICTORY of our God! Get out! Get out and leave your CAPTIVITY, where everything you touch is unclean. Get out of there and PURIFY yourselves, you who carry home the sacred objects of the Lord. You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the Lord WILL GO AHEAD OF YOU; YES THE GOD OF ISRAEL WILL PROTECT YOU FROM BEHIND!"
