Once a mountain, now a chaff.

Our God is a God who strengthens us. With Him sending us His words, we are empowered to face everything ahead. When life brings its own set of struggles, we feel weak. But our God, the God who never changes, has a way of looking at us in a very different way—in a God way. Amidst the problems we go through, which make us feel weak, the following is one such view of God.

Book of Isaiah 41:14–15 says,

“Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.”

When we see ourselves as not capable of facing what is ahead, God is strengthening us by saying He will make us a sharp threshing instrument that will do the impossible. God is describing us as an instrument sharp enough to thresh the mountains and make them small, and to make the hills as chaff. God says we will not only thresh our problems but make them chaff—as nothing. God will make us sharp enough to do it.

He also says, “thou shalt fan them.” Once a mountain becomes dust, this is what our God is planning to do by shaping us, making us an instrument with strong teeth, before which mountains can’t stand, hills can’t stand, and will become dust. And He says, after making us do this, He will make us rejoice in Him. How great are His plans for us.

Hey friend, are you facing a situation which is huge like a mountain? God says, you will blow it away like chaff. Let His voice of truth fill your mind.

Dear God, thank You for the great plans You have for us. In faith, we say that what looks like a mountain will become dust that we blow away. Thank You for strengthening us and equipping us to destroy every mountain-like issue that is standing before us. We love You, Lord. May we never forget—we are strong when You are our strength. Be with us, Lord. Break mountains and hills by using us as You please, Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
