Is there a mountain standing in your way?
If we don’t climb our mountains we will never know the beauty and life beyond it, only the frustration from our present perspective.
What our heart truly desires is often found on the other side of struggle, so today I will wrestle like Jacob did (Gen. 32:22-32) because I believe God when He tells me He has plans to prosper me and not to harm me. Tomorrow I may wake-up with a limp but the blessing will be mine.
I must continually ask myself…
What is it that you are refusing to fight for? What is it in God’s word that you do not believe?
– The possibility of having good and perfect gifts? James 1:17
– That I’m worth it to God? Jeremiah 31:3-4
– That God can and will do for me what He has done for others? Daniel 3:17
– That God has the ability to fulfill the desires of my heart? Psalm 37:4
– That God loves me? John 14:21
– All of the above? Jeremiah 29:11-14
What is your looming mountain? Is it more difficult than God’s ability to raise Jesus from the dead?
Is God trust worthy? Yes! Then start climbing! Remember what God has done so you can know what He will do.
Is fear your mountain? Take courage and press through because that spirit has already been defeated. 2 Timothy 1:7
If God asked you to leap off your mountain, to run head first into fire, or to sleep with the lions, would you trust Him to keep His word? “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11
Sometimes I just have to talk to myself out loud… Take it for what it’s worth 😉
