For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
Going up to the mountains reminds me of a few things, one How big they are and how small we are they remind me of how permanent they are and how temporary i am ,
Psalm 121:1-2
Psalm 121:1-2
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
When I'm in trouble when things are not going in as planned when times are hard I turn to the Lord
Psalm 104:10
Psalm 104:10
He sends the springs into the valleys; They flow among the hills.
Sometimes when I'm in the valley I am so down Like a man wandering through a desert God meets me in my needs where im at when I need him the most where I need him the most
Life is much like those mountains and valleys many time I wish I could just be parked on the mountain top
The view is amazing the danger has passed the mountain air is so fresh the feeling of accomplishment oh How I love the mountain Top
But God doesn't let us stay there I think its because that's our final destination
Isaiah 55:1-13
Isaiah 55:1-13
“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.” Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
Psalm 95:1-5
Psalm 95:1-5
O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God And a great King above all gods, In whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
