Faith Over Fear – A Mountain Top Experience
Have you ever had a “mountain-top” experience?
Last year, I attended the She Speaks Conference in Charlotte, NC. Proverbs 31 Ministries hosted the conference, and it was a joy to see old friends, make new friends, and hug the women I served with on the Online Bible Studies team.
It was a mountain-top experience.
Figuratively and literally.
On the drive home, in the mountains of Virginia, I encountered a severe thunderstorm and stand-still traffic.
Dead stopped. No movement whatsoever.
Thankfully, I was near an exit with a gas station, and I decided to stop and top off my tank.
I asked the cashier what was happening, and he replied in a sweet Southern accent, “There’s been an accident right before the tunnel.”
The tunnel was the one that went through the mountain and into West Virginia, and I was a good hour away from it.
His suggestion was for me to take a state route over the mountain.
So, with a tank full of gas, I said a prayer, and off I went.
Friend, amid the storm, I saw the most beautiful scenery. God’s work was on display!
As the rain tapered off, the rainbows emerged, and the winding roads led up to the mountain and back down.
I passed through small towns and was greeted by little country churches that lined the mountainside. Their white steeples and crosses brought me comfort. Before I knew it, I was on the other side of the mountain, on my way to Ohio.
Here’s the thing: my anxiety was at an all-time high because I was in a situation that I could not control. Through prayer, I could calm myself down and trust God would get me through that situation.
And He did!
Friend, whatever you are going through today, lean on Him! You will get through your storm. And when you do, you will see the beauty that surrounds you!
