God of the Mountain

At Mount Sinai, Israel trembles as God’s presence descends in fire and thunder, calling them to holiness, covenant, and a deeper encounter with Him.

Have you ever longed to be close to God but hesitated out of fear? The Israelites stood at Mount Sinai, trembling as God’s presence covered the mountain in fire and thunder. His holiness was overwhelming, yet He was calling them to draw near. God still calls us to encounter Him—not from a distance, but up close. We may feel unworthy, uncertain of what surrender requires, yet He invites us into His presence. His holiness is not meant to push us away but to transform us. As we approach Him with reverence and open hearts, He cleanses and prepares us to stand before Him. True worship begins when we embrace both His majesty and His mercy. Are you willing to step closer? Seek Him today, and let His presence fill your life.
