Mining God’s Mountain

WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING

Last week I was given this word picture as I was studying.  It was a picture of one of the dwarves on a swing lowered down deep into the Lonely Mountain from, The Hobbit.  The dwarf was carefully mining on one of the walls for jewels and veins of precious metal.  I believe God was showing me I was like this dwarf.  I was mining in the Great Mountain- HIMSELF.  By His Spirit I was mining God’s jewels and veins of gold.  I was mining that timely word and gathering precept upon precept.  I was mining God’s Mithril, the stuff that protects us from the lethal blows of Lucifer.  Oh that we may be thoroughly equipped and dressed in dazzling clothes of white.

Mining Drawf from THE HOBBIT. Huh...there is a resemblance there. (wink)

 For the word of God says, “Counsel in the heart of the man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.” Proverbs 20:5

Oh how the counsel of your Spirit is like deep water, my Lord.  How deep is your understanding!  How wonderful it is to be in your counsel.

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” Psalm 1:1-3

“Happy is a person who finds wisdom and gains understanding.  For the profit of wisdom is better then silver, and her wages are better then gold.  Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.  She offers you life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left.  She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying.  Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.  By wisdom the LORD founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens.  By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the clouds poured down rain.”  Proverbs 3:13-20

Grab your chisels and pickaxes. Fetch a pail. There is good stuff down here!
