The thought of having one third grader and one first grader sounds glorious, but I know God's plans are greater.
It's cool how you can read a scripture or chapter in the Bible, and it can stay glued to your heart for days, weeks, and months. That's how Job 9 and Exodus 31 have been for me this year. What really sticks out to me are the scriptures about mountains.
I've always loved Isaiah 55:12.
You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
In Exodus 33, Moses asks God to send His glory. God says He will, but Moses cannot see His face. For nobody can see His face and live. He goes on to say that Moses will be able to look back and see his back. To me that means we will be able to look back and see where God has been, which is a lot like my 2018 post. In 2018, I talked a lot about how I can look back over my life and see where God has been and how he has taken care of me.
In order for God to come down, he had to hide Moses in the cleft of the rock, so the mountain really is a mountain of protection.
Later, God brought me to Job 9, which brought me to my knees. God's works are so profound and so vast. Who are we to dispute anything with him.
Job 9:5
He moves mountains without their knowing it
and overturns them in his anger.
What the enemy meant for harm, God meant for good. Even if the enemy put mountains in your life for harm, God will overturn them and use them for your good.
In Isaiah 49:11, God says He will turn mountains into roadways.
God is in control of all of your mountains. He can turn them into roads, He can hide you inside of them, and he has already moved so many in your life.
I'm praying these scriptures bless you this year as they have blessed me.
