Mountain Tops
Isaiah 55:12, “For ye hall go out with love and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”
Here we are! Good morning to you and yours! I have found that in this summer heat I long for the cool days of fall in the mountains! Nothing like being at the top of a mountain to be up close and personal with God. Feeling His presence as though He were standing next to you and breathing in all that He can pour into you! In all truth, God is present in every place that you are as a constant companion. Psalms 121:1, “I lift mine eyes to the hills, from whence does my help come from?” And then there are those life mountains that seem to lurk around every corner. Some show up as bills and you can’t find the money; but God! Then there comes a sickness that keeps you home therefore depleting your hours for work and getting paid; again, but God! Maybe it is that promotion that you are being chosen for and there are other people striving for the same thing, again, but God! Of course, there are mountain tops of decisions that come along with everything else that our life journey has; new car, new house, relationships, marriage, jobs, children, etc. For every mountain there is a path to the top; one that God has pre-designed for you. This is but another stepping stone along our journey. But if we chose positive thinking and asking God for guidance, we realize, HE can help with them all. Trust God in helping with those answers; have faith that He knows the path. Pray first for His ability to help you climb, then for your ability to accept His choice! Climb every day with faith! Trust God through the valleys, then believe in the mountain tops, the views are astounding!

Precious Father, thank you for all the valleys and the mountain tops! I praise you for showing me that even in the valley you are there to push us forward. I praise you for the mountains that we climbed to reach to point of achievement. Thank you for being an almighty, loving God who is always there in the midst of good and bad. Amen.
