Ain't No Mountian High Enough

VERSE:                         Deuteronomy 33:2

     And he said: "The Lord came from Sinai, and dawned on them from Seir, He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came with ten thousands of saints; From His right hand came a fiery law for them."  

REFLECTION:

 
    This was part of a blessing that Moses gave the children of Israel before his death.  We see in this verse and many others throughout the bible the awesomeness of God.  A mountain may be the largest most awestruck thing on the earth.  Yet God is master over all of the mountains.  He created them.  It is widely believed that God would come down from mountains to meet His people.  I remember the first time I saw real mountains in Switzerland.  I was mesmerized by their size and beauty.  Yet when you think about the fact that God tames the most rugged of mountains you realize He is truly the master of the universe.

I believe the people of the old testament saw the beauty and the immense strength of a mountain and believed that where else would God come from but a mountain.  A mountain reflects God's awesome power yet also shows His tender beauty.  There is nothing more spectacular than a stoic mountain rising from the land to show it's immense power to the world. Likewise there is nothing more spectacular than Jesus rising from the cross to show His immense power to the world.  

PRAYER:

 
    Pray for God to show His immense power during these times of trouble.  Pray also for His beauty to shine upon each and everyone of us.
