Scripture for the week of September 23, 2018

I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 (HCSB)

Have you ever been awed and captivated by the majestic beauty of the mountains? Some of us welcome the challenges of hiking and climbing mountains for the thrill of enjoying the breathtaking scenic beauty, the fresh smell of pine trees, and the enrapturing views from lofty peaks. But, sometimes we may face the treacherous slopes of life’s daunting dilemmas that can seem impossible to climb. We need to be reminded that no matter how insurmountable our problems may be, the Lord is with us and He hears our cries for help. Trust the Lord today to see your mountain of impossibilities as a mountain of opportunity to be overcome in the power of His might as His strength is made manifest in your weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
