God uses mountains and valleys often in His Word to describe His power, the high moments of success in life, and obstacles that stand in our way. But encourages hope and faith in Him. God chose us from the beginning. It reads in Matthew 17:20: He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. “Matthew 17:20
Paul ties together the ideas of predestination, God’s glory, the salvation of His people, and the rights we have as children of God. It reads in Ephesians 1:9-14, ~ And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of his glory.
In this is that God has chosen us, He has adopted us as His very own child, He has freed us from the shackles of sin, and He has forgiven us of our sins. He has let us have a chance to start new and fresh. Whereas He will bless those who bless Him in their righteousness. He will never leave nor forsake us as it reads in Hebrews 13:5-6, ~ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So, we may boldly say: ‘ The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’
