Isaiah 41: 14-16 -- These verses needs a great depth of understanding

The LORD says,

"14 Small and weak as you are, Israel, don't be afraid; I will help you.I, the holy God of Israel, am the one who saves you.15 I will make you a threshing-board, with spikes that are new and sharp.You will thresh mountains and destroy them; hills will crumble into dust. 16 You will toss them in the air; the wind will carry them off, and they will be scattered by the storm. Then you will be happy because I am your God; you will praise me, the Holy God of Israel."

The interpretation of the God's words by Pastor Teju was outstanding.He described the mountains as the shortcomings of this world.He started with worldliness, lust, gossip and had a list which ran into pages.He discussed a select few elaborately and gave interesting anecdotes as usual.

The point here is that the Lord not only gives us the threshing-board(an instrument to crush stones) but also bless it with new and sharp spikes.It implies how the Lord will pour his Holy spirit to those who ask him; the mountains mentioned here are the devils/satanic temptations in the world.After crushing them into powder, he will give the power to toss them in the air.Hallelujah!!

These were the verses meditated on our Sunday Worship 'Yabes.'
