Dancing on the Mountain - August 23, 2005
"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12
"The trees of the field will clap their hands". I like that song from the psalms, but have always thought the words were sort of stupid. Until that day on the top of the mountain, on a grassy plateau overlooking valleys, mountain peaks, and somewhere down there- rivers and towns. The alpine meadow was strewn with wildflowers and blanketed with patches of purple lupine, yellow and orange paintbrush, and ivory milkweed.
Reminiscent of the Sermon on the Mount and the Beattitudes, we were sitting around listening to a man teach. That's when I noticed that the tall grass was dancing and waving in the breeze, and the blue spruce was swaying with its branches moving and "clapping".
The pastor waved his arm widely, and said, "If God can do all this (panorama) with dirt, think of what He can do with us."
Yes, think!
