Old Testament Verses

Lift up My Eyes

Psalm 121:1-2 Fall Colors and Mountains, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee.Green trees and fall colors dot the landscape of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee and Psalm 121:1-2. "I lift up my eyes

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

Lift up My Eyes and See God Work

I love this verse. It makes for a beautiful illustration.  When we lift up our eyes and look at the mountains we can be reminded that the God who made them is also our source of help. If God made the mountains, than just imagine what great work can He do in you.

Psalm 121 speaks about how God protects and keep HIs people. Read it all and be encouraged.

Praise God in His Mountain Sanctuary

Psalm 150:1-2 and Lily Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.Lily lake in Rocky Mountain National Park is surrounded by Longs, Peak, Mount Meeker, and Estes con. Psalm 150:1-2 . Mountains make for a great sanctuary to worship God

“Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.” Psalm 150:1-2

Worshipping God in a Mountain Sanctuary

Psalm 150 calls us to “Praise God in His sanctuary”. I enjoy praising God with fellow believers in the sanctuary of a church building. There are many benefits to corporate worship. As David Mathis writes on Desiringgod.com, one of those benefits is a shared joy in worshiping Jesus together. The Joy of corporate worship draws into a “greater adoration and awe” of our Lord.

But as an outdoor man at heart I also love to worship in nature. The sanctuary of nature brings me into greater adoration and awe of God. This is especially true in the mountains.

In God’s mountain sanctuary I cannot help but praise the maker of mountains. The majesty of mountains compels my heart to glorify and worship our mighty God!
