“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31”
Mountains symbolizes problems and challenges of life. There are certain mountains one just must encounter in his or her lifetime.
Isaiah 43:2 confirms that we shall pass through waters and fire; however, we shall not be victims of their scourge. The earlier one understands this fact, the better.
According to Exodus 14:13-18, you will read about the encounter of two symbolic mountains behind and before the children of Israel- the hosts of Pharoah and the Red Sea respectively.
However, they were miraculously delivered from the two mountains. Today we shall consider some ways to deal with mountains hindering your progress in life.
One way to deal with mountains is to turn back when confronted with them. However, this method is not good enough as you most likely would face them again (Numbers 14:1-40)
The second way is to go round your mountain and this may be a lifetime of fruitless exercise as in the case of the rebellious and faithful children of Israel who wandered and wasted away in the wilderness.
“ And the LORD’S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.” Numbers 32:13
A point to note in the Scripture above is that wandering around and around a mountain may be a sign that God is angry with the person in question. It is a sign that the fellow has lost his sense of direction.
FINAL SHOT
The only way to get direction to the fulfilment of your destiny is through Jesus Christ who has told us that He is the way, the truth and life (John 14:6), to avoid going around in circles, you must not turn your back on your mountain; rather, face it in the name of Jesus Christ, putting your trust in Him.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to face the challenges of life and see me through them, in Jesus name
