Mountains

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, "Thy God reigneth!" Isaiah 52:7

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12

The mountains saw Thee and they trembled; the overflowing of the water passed by; the deep uttered his voice and lifted up his hands on high. Habakkuk 3:10

And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, `Remove hence to yonder place,' and it shall remove. And nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20

There are many verses in the Bible that contain the word "mountain(s)". It is interesting to look them up and a lot of them are very significant when meditated upon.

Any mountains in your life? They are as nothing to the Lord. All things are possible with Him.

Faith and Finances

Proverbs 3:9-10 says, "Honor the Lord with your wealth, and with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing and your vats will brim over with new wine."

The previous verses tell us to trust in the Lord and in ALL of our ways acknowledge Him. This definitely includes finances. We can't just go around frivolous...the Bible also says for us to know the state of our assets.

He promises in His Word to supply ALL of our needs. As we acknowledge Him and walk in His ways, He will give us all that we need according to His riches in glory (Philipians 4:19)

And we are to walk by faith. There is no other alternative on the road of peace. Hebrews 10:38-39 says that if we are righteous we will live BY faith. And if we shrink back, He will not be pleased with us. If we believe we will be saved.

What is hindering your belief today? Bitterness? Disappointment? Let it go -- and see how good our God is!
