Mountains Turned to Plains


Mountains Turned to Plains

"Who art thou, O great mountain? 
before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain; 
and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it." (Zechariah 4:7)

At this hour a mountain of difficulty, distress,
or necessity may be in our way,
and natural reason sees no path over it,
or through it, or round it.
Let faith come in, and straightway the mountain disappears and becomes a plain.
But faith must first hear the word of the Lord--"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts."
 This grand truth is a prime necessity for meeting the insurmountable trials of life.

I see that I can do nothing and that all reliance on man is vanity.
"Not by might."
I see that no visible means can be relied on,
 but the force is in the invisible Spirit.
God alone must work, and men and means must be nothing accounted of.
 If it be so that the Almighty God takes up the concerns of His people,
then great mountains are nothing.
He can remove worlds as boys toss balls about or drive them with their foot.
This power He can lend to me.
If the Lord bids me move an Alp I can do it through His name.
 It may be a great mountain,
 but even before my feebleness it shall become a plain;
for the Lord hath said it.
 What can I be afraid of with God on my side?

 Isaiah 55:11 King James Version (KJV)
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
 it shall not return unto me void, 
but it shall accomplish that which I please, 
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Weapons Doomed to Fail


Weapons Doomed to Fail

 "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn." 
(Isaiah 54:17)

There is great clatter in the forges and smithies of the enemy.
They are making weapons wherewith to smite the saints.
They could not even do as much as this if the Lord of saints did not allow them;
 for He has created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire.
But see how busily they labor!
How many swords and spears they fashion!
 It matters nothing, for on the blade of every weapon you may read this inscription:
It shall not Prosper.

But now listen to another noise:
it is the strife of tongues.
 Tongues are more terrible instruments than can be made with hammers and anvils,
 and the evil which they inflict cuts deeper and spreads wider.
What will become of us now?
Slander, falsehood, insinuation, ridicule --- these are poisoned arrows;
how can we meet them?
The Lord God promises us that,
if we cannot silence them, we shall, at least,
escape from being ruined by them.

They condemn us for the moment,
 but we shall condemn them at last and forever.

The mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped, and their falsehoods shall be turned to the honor of those good men who suffered by them.

The Magnitude of Grace



The Magnitude of Grace.

"My grace is sufficient for thee; 
for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 
(2 Corinthians 12:9)

Our weakness should be prized as making room for divine strength. 
We might never have known the power of grace if we had not felt the weakness of nature. Blessed be the Lord for the thorn in the flesh, and the messenger of Satan, 
when they drive us to the strength of God.

This is a precious word from our Lord's own lip. 
It has made the writer laugh for joy. 
God's grace enough for me? I should think it is. 
Is not the sky enough for the bird and the ocean enough for the fish? 
The All-Sufficient is sufficient for my largest want. 
He who is sufficient for earth and heaven is certainly able to meet the case of one poor worm like me.

Let us, then, fall back upon our God and His grace.
 If He does not remove our grief,
 He will enable us to bear it. 
His strength shall be poured into us till the worm shall thresh the mountains, 
and a nothing shall be victor over all the high and mighty ones. 
It is better for us to have God's strength than our own; for if we were a thousand times as strong as we are,
 it would amount to nothing in the face of the enemy; and if we could be weaker than we are, 
which is scarcely possible, yet we could do all things through Christ.
