Psalm 121

"I lift up my eyes to the hills -
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2

These words have been on my lips often over the last several years. I seem to be drawn back into the mountains on a regular basis for times of reflection and reconnecting with God. It probably has something to do with growing up here in the west but the truth is as a child we never spent much time in the mountains. We weren't a hiking/camping/fishing family so what I experienced of the mountains was for the most part from a distance.
What I find in the mountains is a time to reconnect and put things in perspective. The chance to remember how big God is and yet how important I am even in the midst of this grandeur. I do not want to lose sight of the strength that God brings in the midst of all things and so I remember not just for today but for tomorrow and the day after and the day after that as well.
