“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14 (NIV).
I have lived in Virginia for 14 months and boy, do I enjoy this place. I have been learning so many lessons by watching the mountains. These famous Virginia mountains are a spectacular sight that provide beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Whenever I have the time, I pull up in the parking lot behind the Wingate hotel, sit in my car listening to praise and worship and watch the sun set, while speaking to my Father. These moments in my life have been priceless. And all for the free gift of the mountains!!!
Yesterday as I drove down Candler’s Mountain Road, God revealed another lesson. The fog was so dense that you couldn’t see the city down below, and the only visible parts of the mountains were the tips (or tops). The fog may come and go, and fog may cloud the world around us, but as Christians let’s be like the mountains – standing tall, strong, and unshakeable. The cloud may cover most of the mountains at times, but the tops will still be visible. No fog will outshine the power that is within us, i.e., the power of the Kingdom of God, which, in spite of any weather-like conditions, remains within us – keeping us, strengthening us, and enabling us to remain in Him.
“Dear Heavenly Father, there are so many times when life’s circumstances cloud our vision and keep us from seeing what You have prepared for us. Please help us to remain steadfast in our faith, knowing that the fog will dissipate and the light of Your Son will shine and help us overcome whatever difficulties we are facing.”
For His Glory
