The earth is a controversial place. Voices resound with a myriad of ideas that are far apart, swelling to the point of a dull roar that often cancels each other out. Truth is obtainable, but it is not in the sea of ideas and voices that ought to know when to be still, yet clamor louder in an inalienable right to sound. Often there is only one way to separate the fluff and resonance of sound, and that is to get to the most basic denominator.
Our physical world is a mirror of this idea. Comparatively, the crust of which we call terra firma, is a thin overlay of the forces that work underneath our feet. Those forces that are at work, the mostly iron core of our earth and the molten nature of the core creates all of the utterly astounding terrain that we call home. In understanding the formation of land mass, you look not to the mountain height, but instead look deep into the valleys to understand where the upthrust of hills and mountains arise.
The Himalayas, jutting upward of 23000 feet, achieving the title of the worlds highest mountain chain, were thought until recently to have happened many million years ago in an orderly fashion, yet in looking into the depths of a garnet, the truth seems far from that. It is in this small semiprecious stone that we find the solution of the mountains. It does not sustain the height, but is the key to it all. Hidden in the valley jungles of the Himalayas, the story unfolds a bit differently. Garnets are excellent indicators of age of rock, forming miles under the earth’s surface, and in analyzing these rocks, it has been discovered that the upthrust of the Himalayas was neither orderly nor old. It appears fairly recent, geologically, that these mountains were formed.
Mountains are what create the vastly different terrain of our world, and yet the solution of their formation and conquering is in the valleys.
We often find ourselves searching for the solutions of our mountains in the wrong places. It is easy to decry the valley as valleys are often associated in our minds with negativity, and extreme spiritual poverty, yet it is where the truth and understanding of the mountains come from.
It was in the midst of the valley that we find David discovering the truth of fear for his life. “Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,” that the garnet discovery of the mountain of deaths’ secret became apparent to him. Death’s shadow was cast by a mountain that was between him and the sun, yet it would be a garnet that said “Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.”
Garnets that held the secret of the heights were discovered by Hosea, when he was told that the valley of Achor(trouble) would be given as a door of hope. Therein lies the key to the heights. . .there’s hope where trouble is found. When you look up at the heights, often undiscovered underfoot is the truth of the mountain.
Don’t allow the valley to be wasted, as this is where the fragments that tell you much of the mountain are discovered.
