Today, Darrel and I took a wonderful drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The mountains are just breathtaking. At every overlook point, all you want to do is stand there and drink in the beauty of it all. One ridge after another, melting into one another, the mountains build a most beautiful landscape for the eye to behold.
As you stand and stare at the scene before you, you can almost hear the mountains singing out to you! It's as if they stretch forth right before you and make you hear them.
Psalm 98:8 says, "Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the mountains sing together for joy." I'm telling you, when you stand at 5000 feet and gaze upon the natural handiwork of God, you can almost hear these mountains singing together for JOY!!! As you look at them, joy bubbles up in your heart at their Maker and it leaves you feeling a part of it all. I wonder, if we could really hear them sing, what would they be singing?????
I think I know.........in fact, I'm sure of it. They're singing their praises unto the God of heaven and earth, the Maker of the stars, the universe, from the tiniest insect to the grandest mammal, HE made it all and they're thanking HIM for being a part of HIS creation.
TOday, I heard THE MOUNTAINS SING TOGETHER FOR JOY and it was good, real good. But then, of course it would be.........GOD MADE IT TO BE SO.
