Melting Mountains

We serve and worship a powerful and Mighty God!  I think we sometimes forget this fact, at least I think I do.  We not only serve the God of our forefathers: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David, but also the God that was the God of all the mighty events that happened during their lives.  We love and worship the God who made the waters of Noah’s flood, gave Abraham a son at the ripe old age of 100, covered Egypt with locusts and parted the Red Sea for Moses.  God killed Goliath for David and kept him safe to become King of all of Israel.  We serve a Mighty God, but do we forget?

This same God is powerful and mighty today, right now.  We read the stories, or a better word might be history, of God striking down Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10) and Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5).  Do we forget that we serve this same powerful and just God?

Listen to Psalm 97:

“The Lord is king!  Let the earth rejoice!  Let the farthest coastlands be glad.

 Dark clouds surround him.  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

 Fire spreads ahead of Him and burns up all His foes.

 His lightning flashes out across the world.  The earth sees and trembles.

 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.

 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; every nation sees His glory.

 Those who worship idols are disgraced— all who brag about their worthless gods— for every god must bow to Him.

 Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced, and all the towns of Judah are glad because of your justice, O Lord!

 For you, O Lord, are supreme over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

You  who love the Lord, hate evil!  He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked.

 Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right.

 May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord and praise his holy name!”

We serve THIS GOD!  But we also serve a loving God.  “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” (Romans 5:8)

This mighty God chooses to forgive us when we fail Him.  Wow!  Isn’t it nice to serve the God that can melt mountains, but protects us?

God Bless
