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.

For behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, And makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth— The LORD God of hosts is His name. Amos 4:13 NKJV
