Climbing that Mountain

You have been called, appointed, anointed, equipped, empowered, and yet at times still feel so inadequate. He has placed you here for such a time as this for a purpose. His purpose.

Your very steps are ordered.  Your paths are set before you with special care taken to assure the path difficulty isn’t too great for the moment you are at. Oh we may think it is too much to bear but without a doubt we serve a God who knows what He is doing. 

In order to climb a mountain you have to develop muscles, endurance, strength, and skill. You see walking a path without elevation isn’t as difficult as treading up a steep, slick mountain. The air is thinner making it harder to breathe. Your balance is leaning forward with the steep incline. It is very tiring and painful. So many think it is too hard and cannot take another step, turn around and seek easier paths. But none will lead to the top of the mountain without first enduring the climb. I assure you mountains are never crowded.

Once you get to the top there is victory and relief! There is no greater view or greater sense of accomplishment. It will be worth it all. Just keep climbing! When you grow tired look up past the mountain peak to the One who is waiting on you, who believes in you, and knows through His strength you are going to make it!

Find comfort and strength knowing He made you. He knows your every strength, every weakness, every struggle, and every asset. He isn’t setting you to fail but to grow! Don’t give in, don’t give up, just keep climbing!
