This is quoted 3x in the OT,

Hab 3:19 The Lord GOD is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds' feet, And makes me walk on my high places.

2Sa 22:34 "He makes my feet like hinds' feet, And sets me on my high places.

Psa 18:33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, And sets me upon my high places.

'high places" is personalized. Commentaries talk about the writer speaking of 'his' mountains of Judea. I think there is some personal spiritual application though:

One thought is: MY high places... we are already seated with God in the heavenLIES.... or God wants to put us on a high place He has made just for us... Moses spoke to God on the mountain top....

High places are a 'safe' and defendable position in war....

I'm sure there is something I'm missing! Can anyone help me? :pilgrim:
 
I think you are on to something Beth. I note this verse from the New Testament which may have corresponding relevance:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (Eph. 1.3)

'High places' and 'heavenly places'...I may be wrong but I think there is likely a connection.
 
Exactly! :bigsmile: Seems like mostly we hear thing about Heaven - but not so much about the heavenly place(s)...

What are the heavenly places?
