Nestled in the southern most parts of the Smoky Mountains is Covenant College, the place at which I am privileged to work and study and laugh and live. The school sits at the very top of Lookout Mountain, and oh! the views. From my room in these early days of November, I gaze out over the heights of these southern mountains upon a grey sky and burnt orange leaves.
As I sit here reciting to myself the truths about God, His immanence and transcendence, His attributes, His decrees, all these great things, I stare out my window in awe. I look on to the next mountain and think, "God is there." And I look beyond to the farther one, and think, "God is there." I look out across the whole glassy, calm sky and think, "God is there."
Isaiah 57:15 "For thus says the one who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.'"
How merciful is the Lord to give me four years on such a beautiful height, where I can immerse myself in the truths of Himself. My I never forget calm moments like these, looking out over His creation and thanking Him for His omnipresence.
