Mountains, we all have them in our life. We don’t want them. But, they are part of what helps us grow spiritually…

This is the last episode of the summer season and we are talking about the mountains in our lives and how we climb them. What are the mountains in your life? What is your approach toward the mountains? Is it, “Why is this mountain here?” or is it, “Okay, it’s here. Now what am I going to learn climbing this.” Even more important, who am I going to help because I climbed it? Listen as I get real about some of the mountains I’m facing in my life right now, and help you learn how to approach yours. We can get so focused on reaching the mountaintop that we don’t realize we learn the most in the climb and in the valleys.

Scripture

Deuteronomy 10:17 AMP (Could use as a post) “For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, the awesome God who does not show [g]partiality nor take a bribe.”

Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

James 1:2-3 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 

Romans 5:1-5 5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Psalm 121:1-2 “I lift my eyes up to the mountains where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.”

Isaiah 54:10 “Though the mountain be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken not my covenant of peace be removed, “says the Lord, who has compassion on you.”

Matthew 21:21, ‘“Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.

Matthew 17:20, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
