Theresa Mine, Victor, Colorado
Victor, Colorado is about fifty miles from Colorado Springs sitting nearly 10,000 feet above sea level on the southwest side of Pike's Peak. In the late 1800's there were over 500 mining claims in the Cripple Creek mining district of which Victor was a part. A great deal of gold was discovered here.
The mines have mostly disappeared, and left are these rusted monuments to the millions of dollars pulled from the ground. There's no reason for these mines to be active. Their only purpose was to pull precious metal from the ground, and there's no more gold.
What's our purpose?
"The LORD will work out his plans for my life-- for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me." Psalm 138:8 New Living Translation
We want God to be more specific. We want it spelled out what his plan is for our lives rather than simply to believe that he has a plan for us. "The LORD will work out his plan for my life."
We're not abandoned mines set as museums of the past. At this moment we are living out God's plan for our lives. We are where he has called us to be.
Faith is not the call to know God's plan but to believe that today we're living his purpose for our lives.
