Join the Climb?


"It's There On That Mountain"
How many situations do we face in this life
that look like a mountain with an unending
crest. So we pray for removal because we
just can't imagine that the climbing would still
leave us blessed. But God in His sovereignty
always has a purpose for the steepness and
severity of the hour. Because there on that
mountain our faith is multiplied as we learn
more of God and his power. There in the toiling,
where our footing seems unsure we learn just
how human we can be. And we find our
Redeemer as the Rock who is faithful despite
the size of the task that we see. It's there on
that mountain that we lose the desire to seek
comfort & consolation all around. For the solitude
of the circumstance gives God the whole stage
to speak the glory we don't hear on the ground.
And it's there in the uphill battle that we face
where we learn deeper, vital lessons of the Lord.
For we become more wise by seeking
His wisdom through the brokenness...as we
are restored. It's there on that mountain we see
God for all He is and find there are infinite sides
to adore. For the same God who made the
mountains climbs them with us until we say
we are blessed all the more.
