Table Mountain

Table Mountain

When you look upon a majestic sight in nature, you have two options
before you: believe that God created it all, or believe that He did not.

Table Mountain

"Who established the mountains by His strength,
Being clothed with power."


(Psalm 65:6)

When asking about what to see while in Cape Town, we were told to be sure to go to Table Mountain, a popular tourist destination. We happened to go on a day when the visibility was great, and so we were able to go to the top via a cable car that traveled very smoothly and very high! After reaching the top of the mountain, above the city at over 3500 feet, we were able to take in some beautiful vistas. Table Mountain is one of 21 national parks in South Africa. Almost one million visitors come through each year, and it is listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Learn 33 Cool Facts about Table Mountain here.

As my son Leighton and I walked around the top of the mountain, we discussed how incredible this place is and how wonderful and powerful our creator God is. Here are a couple photos of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa:
When you look upon a majestic sight in nature, whether it is an ocean sparkling and glistening with shades of turquoise and soft blue, or a mountain jettisoning the sky, or a star-filled sky, you have two options before you: believe that God created it all, or believe that He did not. The Bible unequivocally asserts the former, but a purely humanist and atheistic worldview posits the latter. Psalm 19:1 states, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork." It is illogical to believe that the universe came from nothing, life from non-living matter, human intelligence from non-intelligence, or that beauty is only an accident. It is much more reasonable and logical to believe in an all-powerful God who created everything and everyone and holds all things together by His power, precisely as the Scriptures assert (see Genesis 1:1 and Colossians 1:16, which says, "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.")

As many in our world spiral out of control and give into the temptations of fear and panic, it is a wonderful blessing to know God and have a personal relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. As the hymn states it, "What have I to dread, what I have to fear leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near leaning on the everlasting arms."

We have two options before us in times of crises: lean on Jesus, or be overcome by fear and panic. Which will you choose today?
