PHILIPPIANS 4:8–13; COLOSSIANS 3:1
According to David H. Roper, Idaho’s valley in the USA experiences extreme cold in winter due to clouds and fog, trapping cold air behind warmer air. However, a nearby road climbs Shafer Butte’s flank, a 7,500-foot mountain, allowing for a refreshing view of the valley below. This road offers a short distance to emerge from the fog and enjoy the warmth and splendour of a sunny day.
Life is like that at times. It can be challenging, but faith helps us overcome the fog and set our hearts on higher things. The Lord empowers us to find courage and calmness.
We can climb out of our unhappiness and despair. We can spend some time sitting on the mountainside, and through Christ, who gives us strength, we can see things from a different perspective.
🙏 Lord, we rest in Your love for us even when we are unable to see You or what You are doing.
