Mountains.

“I lift my eyes to the mountains.

Where will my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

The Maker of Heaven and Earth.”

Psalm 121:1-2.

These lines are well-known. You may recognize them from various songs. They convey the idea that when you are hurting and broken, you look to the horizon, to a place far from your current struggle, like snow-capped peaks that you know are several days’ journey away. You look to the mountains and pray and ask yourself who will help you.

And the answer comes: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.” He is so much bigger than the mountains, the oceans, the rivers and forests. God is the One who created it all. He is your help.

And when you lean on Him, YOU will become as solid as those mountains.

“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.” Ps. 125:1-2.

Do you trust God? Are you trusting Him with your problems right now? When you trust God, He can make you as solid as a mountain—and as sure-footed as the deer that scale the mountains. You will not stumble.

“The Lord is my strength,

He has made my feet like the feet of a deer,

And makes me to walk on mountain heights.” Habakkuk 3:19.

You give us steady feet like a deer and You will bring us to the mountain heights where there is plenty of green grass. Thank You for being our Protector and Provider. We love You! Help us love Your word and study it daily.
