John Henry Jowett preaches about the importance of seeking inspiration
and guidance from the hills in our lives, representing the big things
that give meaning to the monotony of our daily routines. He emphasizes
the impact of noble companionship, especially when that Companion is
God, in bringing light and beauty to our ordinary tasks. Jowett
highlights the hills as symbols of salvation and defense, with God's
righteousness likened to great mountains that bring forth peace to His
people.

PSALM cxxi.

There should be a hill country in every life, some great up-towering
peaks

which dominate the common plain. There should be an upland district,
where

springs are born, and where rivers of inspiration have their birth. "I

will lift up mine eyes unto the hills."

The soul that knows no hills is sure to be oppressed with the monotony
of

the road. The inspiration to do little things comes from the presence of

big things. It is amazing what dull trifles we can get through when a

radiant love is near. A noble companionship glorifies the dingiest road.

And what if that Companion be God? Then, surely, "the common round and

daily task" have a light thrown upon them from "the beauty of His

countenance."

The "heavenlies" are our salvation and our defence. "His righteousness
is

like the great mountains." "The mountains bring forth peace unto His

people."
