Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Embracing the mystery.

Colorado Springs is a popular tourist destination. People are drawn to the Springs because of the Air Force Academy, the Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak. I imagine that it's frustrating for these visitors when Pikes Peak is shrouded  by clouds.  

Granted this doesn't happen all that often, not like Mt. McKinley (Denali) which most visitors to Alaska never see, but for those people who have made the journey to Colorado Springs they expect to see America's mountain.

"The glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from inside the cloud." Exodus 24:16 God's Word to the Nations

I don't suppose that this event at Mount Sinai was normal. This is arid land and Mount Sinai isn't all that tall (7,497 ft), but something spectacular happened on that mountain. God spoke with Moses. However, for the people who camp at its foot, Mount Sinai is shrouded in mystery.

In this picture Pikes Peak is shrouded in mystery. Those of us who know the power of Jesus sacrifice and his victory over death embrace the mystery of God dwelling with us.

The day is coming when the cloud will be lifted and we see God face-to-face, but for now by faith we embrace the mystery that God dwells with us.
