Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭2‬

I love the mountains. A few years ago we took a trip from our midwest, relatively flat area to the mountains. Driving through one pass in particular, the mountains on either side of us nearly blocked the sky. They were huge.

One of the things I thought of as I gazed at these immense rocks is how they had withstood the passage of time, endured the changing elements and had been unaffected by disease, political change, or any other environmental issue.

They were the same in hot weather and cold, dry weather or wet, in the brightness of the day and the darkness of night.

The Psalmist writes of the stability and order of God’s creation. Here, in verse two he writes of creation enduring through time. Like the mountains I looked on with awe, God stands tall.

Night after night, season after season, He stands immovable and impenetrable regardless of what is going on around Him.

It’s so hard, in our frail humanity to fathom how God stands unaffected by anything going on around us. We are affected physically, emotionally and spiritually by weather, illness, social and political climate, relational differences and much more.

Yet our God isn’t moved. Mountains don’t speak words, but they speak lessons. They speak reminders of God’s immensity. They speak reminders of God’s resilience. They speak reminders that whatever is bothering you today; whatever fear you are dealing with; whatever worry is attacking you,

God stands strong. When we live in the power and shelter of his spirit, we can stand strong too.

In your mind, right now, picture the grandeur of the mountains and remember, your God stands strong through whatever you are going through.
