Mountain Moments: The Test

Mountains and valleys can offer different perspectives of our circumstances.  

Psalm 121:1-2 - I lift up my eyes to the mountains--where does my help come from?  My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
When we view life from a worldly perspective, we often see pain, trials, and heartache.  When we view life from God's perspective, we can see hope, perseverance, and victory.  

When we truly trust that our help comes from the Lord, we realize God is looking out for the best outcome for us.  Our responsibility is to trust in His Will, Way, and Timing.

Are you a person who views a glass of milk as half full or half empty?  Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

optimist - a person who is inclined to be hopeful and to expect good outcomes
pessimist - a person who is inclined to expect poor outcomes
God will test us to find out the strength of our faith.  It's easy to say, "I trust God", when we're on the mountain.  The strength of our level of faith is proven when in the valley we say, "I trust God".
Do you trust Him today and that His Plans for you are for good?  Lift your eyes to the mountains!  God wants to help you!  
Romans 8:26-28 - 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.  28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
