Isaiah 25:6-10 ESV
On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us This is the Lord; we have waited for him let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,
Have you been to the mountain top?
We talk about mountain top experiences where we have such a rich and bountiful connection with God we don’t want to “go down the mountain.”
But does Isaiah mean that only one mountain in all of creation is a place where bountiful things happen? Where a feast of rich foods and well aged wine is served and death is wiped away? If that was the case wouldn’t people be flocking to the mountain?
Maybe it is heaven, when God joins his people and dwells with them forever. But isn’t God dwelling with us now? Jesus said he would never leave us or forsake us…
Maybe the place Isaiah is describing is everywhere we allow ourselves to get out of the way and let God have control over our lives. The feast of rich foods and fine wine might be right there in front of you and we can’t see it because we are blinded by our need to control our own lives.
So allow God to be in the drivers seat and be blessed with an abundant life here and now…
