Canteen Christmas Countdown Continues

Due to cable company upgrades, in the middle of the day,
and an assurance that the difficulties would be over by 5pm,
east coast time, and they aren't,
the Canteen Music Dedication is brought to you
by a substitute poster.

The Maker Of Mountains

READ: Psalm 102:3-12

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people. —Psalm 125:2

The Bible uses vivid imagery to express the brevity of our life on earth. Job said that his days were “swifter than a runner” and “they pass by like swift ships” (Job 9:25-26).

I recall preaching at the funeral service of a young mother. From where I stood I could see the Rocky Mountains towering over the western horizon. The scene prompted me to consider how I will one day follow that friend through the valley of the shadow of death, and yet those peaks will still be thrusting themselves skyward. Eventually they will crumble into dust, but the God who made them will exist forever in undiminished glory. I also remember thinking that my deceased friend and I will, by God’s grace, live with Him forever and ever.

Whenever we are troubled by the shortness of life and the impermanence of everything in this world, let’s remember the Maker of the mountains. He has always been and will always be. As the psalmist said, “You, O Lord, shall endure forever” (102:12).

That truth inspires us with hope. If by faith we belong to Jesus Christ the Savior, who is from everlasting to everlasting, we will one day rejoice in heaven in unending praise to Him. —Vernon C Grounds

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes;
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.  —Smith

To see God’s hand in everything makes life a great adventure.

Bible in One Year:   Daniel 11-12; Jude
