How The Mountains Would Quake!

Even though mountains represent strength and stability in our world, they would quake at the mere presence of God.

 

"Oh, that you would burst from the heavens

and come down!

How the mountains would quake in your presence!"

Isaiah 64:1 (NLT)

 

On the third day Brian and I stayed in Canmore, we again went to Banff to climb up another one of God's mountains---Sulfur Mountain. This hike is rated as strenuous, but Brian and I felt we were up to it.

 

 

Our sons had now gone home, so it was just the two of us. As we hiked up this mountain, the Gondola brought people up to the top the easy way.

 



 

It took us one and a half hours for us to reach the top by keeping a reasonable steady pace without stopping. We started with two young adult girls who boasted they were soccer athletes, and beat them by fifteen minutes. They hiked at a faster pace, but kept stopping to catch their breaths. They would pass us and then we would pass then. Near the end the passing stopped all together. When we bumped into each other again at the top, they avoided eye contact. (I guess their inflated ego deflated.)

 



After the hike, Brian and I stopped to view Bow Falls, and then walked through all the different stores in the town of Banff.

It was again a beautiful day to enjoy God's majesty in creation!
