mountains and hills

Hullo Saint,
greetings in the name of our saviour and sustainer.

I don't know much about military strategy, but it makes sense that mountains and hillsides give us better perspectives than just plain flat surfaces or looking up from below (like in the valleys). The hillsides can give a better lay of the land view and perhaps a strategic way to overcome the troubles brewing in the lands below."I lift my eyes to the hills -- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2). When troubles brew, it seems that they are not in lofty places. For some reason, we can get into more trouble on low grounds where there are dips and crevices to find trouble! Sometime we can be looking for trouble but often it just comes to us, and we may feel hopelessly down in the dumps. We naturally turn towards help, and it must be instinctive that we look up, up to the hills.It's wonderful to know that help is on the way when we are troubled and laying low to the ground. It's even better to know that our help is not just another person, or even the strong person we can think of. No. Our help is God Himself, the One who created both heaven and earth. With help like that, who needs to worry any longer? God wants us to know that He doesn't want us to be in trouble or down in the dumps. But He wants to assure us now and forever that whenever we do need help, He will be there for us. All we need to do is look up to those hills of love and grace, and there He will be!Until next time, have a blessed day,
Robert Grace
