The mountain of God.

The mountain of God and the mountain of worry. One in which I want to stand but always find myself climbing the other.

I'm writing this time as a reminder to myself that the Lord has everything under control and there is no need to worry about the future. His grace is enough. There is no need to worry about the things in which I desire. From learning Japanese to completing the Navy in 3 years.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (New International Version)

8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

With a promise like this, "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." There is no reason for me to have any doubts. I've seen the Lord work in mysterious and wonderful ways. He saved me from depression and lifted me higher than I had ever been before. I know that I know that the Lord is good. So I need to continue reminding myself of His promises. To be in continual prayer.

Again it is said in His living word, "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him." We can rest assured that the Lord will always be with us.

So I ask the Lord to help me stop climbing the wrong mountain and stand firm upon His mountain. The Rock which is Jesus Christ. My loving savior and friend. I thank you Lord and I pray that you reign in the hearts of my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus and lead them to your mountain to stand firm. Amen.
