For every mountain climbed...I give You Praise

Have you ever looked at the muscles of a rock climber and actually views them in action? have you ever seen them land their foot a little wrong and they slip but with all the physical strength as well as will power they pull themselves to the next level until they have reached their goal?

God in the midst of this scenario is our physical strength. He is that will power that encourages us to go above and beyond that particular situation that we think has paralyzed us. That situation could be that boyfriend, that girlfriend, that friendship, that job, that attitude, your parents, that school, that marriage problem, that marriage itself, those church folk, alot of things but in spite of it all we have a cheerleader that practically declares our victory against our vices.

It states in Romans 11 verse 29:
"...for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable"

so take these gifts that he has given you to conquer your vices and claim your victory. Don't let anyone or anything take you away from God. Don't be that rock climber who settles for less than the success of overcoming that mountain. The mountain is just another obstacle that you've come against don't let it rule your life. For it speaks in Matthew the seventeenth chapter: "He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

so what is impossible through faith? a woman had come to Jesus about her child who was demon possessed and it was a smart response against her vice of doubt in which God granted her request of healing. " The woman came and knelt beform him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He replied,' It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs.' Yes, Lord,' she said, 'but eveb the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table."-Matthew 15:25-27

even in the most complicated situations God can change the circumstances...but you have to have the will and the strength to want to move on in faith. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. so just like that rock climber losing balance we have to be sure about our next step and certain we will make it.


"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."- Romans 15:13
