And a place where gold is refined. 2 Iron is taken from the earth,
And copper is smelted from ore.
3 Man puts an end to darkness,
And searches every recess
For ore in the darkness and the shadow of death.
4 He breaks open a shaft away from people;
In places forgotten by feet
They hang far away from men;
They swing to and fro.
5 As for the earth, from it comes bread,
But underneath it is turned up as by fire;
6 Its stones are the source of sapphires,
And it contains gold dust.
7 That path no bird knows,
Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.
8 The proud lions have not trodden it,
Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.
9 He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains at the roots.
10 He cuts out channels in the rocks,
And his eye sees every precious thing.
11 He dams up the streams from trickling;
What is hidden he brings forth to light."
From the above passage we can see that human generations have captured those challenges they went through subduing the mountains for sports,food,exploitative uses among others and have brought the effects into day to day activities.Some of the sports are dangerous and deadly but we have our people catching fun on many mountains,we also carry the joy,victory,losses,sorrow into our daily livings.The government of the world has seen nothing wrong in some of the sports but have recognize mountainous challenges in their day to day administrations.
The life we live without physical mountains,is also full of mountainous challenges.Whatever gives people,you and me, cause for concerns,that made us sighs are nothing but mountains.They comes under different shades,challenges,shapes and mode.However they constitutes problems and serve as lessons to those who have come across them.If i may ask you as you read this blog,have you in anyway recognize something in your life as difficult situations you must overcome? It could be in any facet of life.What are your reactions towards the challenges when life is hard?How do you handle the situation?
If i am to keep on writing and philosophizing, my scheduled time for blogging will be gone.
What did Christ say about Mountains?Did He said we should use hammer to scatter them,or He asked to begin to drill through until we are able to split it,no,no, He said nothing on the nature of those mountainous issues but our Faith.Faith is the killer of mountains in our lives.Faith in its reality.Faith in God.Its not in the power of the hammer and not in the might of the biggest drills in the world but Faith, in the power of the Holy Spirit.When your mountains come to you,and against you apply Faith, and you shall have them beneath your feet
Do you look at the mountainous sides of your problems in this life? Why should you,all you need to do is to exercise faith in the power of God.Jesus asked us to employ the power of Faith in the Holy Spirit,to drive our mountains into the sea.I want you to know that when those mountains are gone ,we come to see all benefits before us and have them.When a mountain move into the sea it becomes a stone.Keep moving them into the sea,they can never fill the sea to a significant volume.
I pray you receive the power to exercise this Faith from God and have every mountainous challenges of this life thrown as stones into the sea of life never to come up again in Jesus name.Amen.
Shalom.
