More Steady Than the Mountains

My Daily Musings-April 27th, 2026

Have you ever looked at the mountains and thought about how permanent they feel?

Living in Utah, I see them almost every day—steady, unmoving, almost unshakable. It’s hard to imagine a world where they aren’t there. And yet, Isaiah teaches something striking:

“For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee…” (Isaiah 54:10)

What a comparison. The very things that feel the most permanent in our world—mountains, hills, the landscape itself—God says those could disappear. But not His kindness. Not His love. Not His covenant of peace.

That makes me pause and wonder—what am I placing my sense of security in? Things that feel steady… or the One who actually is?

Because if even mountains can be removed, then maybe the things in my life that feel solid—but sometimes shift—were never meant to be my foundation in the first place.

But Him? His love doesn’t shift. His kindness doesn’t withdraw. His peace isn’t temporary.

Even when life feels uncertain… even when things change that I thought never would… He doesn’t.

So maybe the question isn’t will things change?—because they will.

The real question is: Where am I anchoring my heart when they do?

And do I truly believe that His kindness toward me is more constant than the mountains I can see?
