Psalm 90:2 says, “Before the mountains were born You brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.” As our plane descended into El Salvador, flying over the most breathtaking mountains, we are reminded of how small we are in the presence of such vast beauty—and yet how intentional God is. Those mountains stood firm, and unmoved, long before we arrived and long before this global service trip was ever planned. They silently testify to a God who existed before all things and remains sovereign over every place we step foot on. In that moment and as we reflect, the mountains have become more than scenery; they became a declaration of God’s eternal nature and steady presence.
Psalm 90:2 anchors our hearts in the truth that this global service trip is not built on our strength, ideas, or timelines, but on the everlasting God who was already at work long before we arrived. Just as the mountains rise from the earth with purpose and permanence, so does God’s work in this beautiful land—rooted deeply in His eternal will. We are simply joining Him in what He is already doing. The same God who formed all of the beautiful mountains we flew over, is the God who goes before us, sustains us, and remains faithful from generation to generation, both here in El Salvador and wherever He sends us next.
Amen!
