Lift My Eyes to the Mountain

A towering snow-capped mountain rises beyond a foreground of sunlit alpine trees, placing the viewer at the edge of the wilderness where height, stone, forest, and sky declare the majesty of the Creator. The rugged peak evokes the biblical language of refuge, strength, and divine help, especially the psalmist’s confession: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.” The scene is well suited for ministry themes of creation, worship, God’s sovereignty, pilgrimage, endurance, and trust in the Lord amid life’s steep places. by Lars Justinen
