How High The Mountain?

Sometimes in life
We have mountains to climb.
To surmount them we take
One small step at a time.

Though the pathway is steep
And the mountain seems high,
We should not question
Or even ask "Why?"

For our God is able
To care for His sheep.
We're safe in His care,
For He does not sleep.

When there are stones
In the path we must take,
He will remove them,
Or new pathways make.

As we lean on Him
We will not lose our way.
For He will prevent us
From going astray.

God, in His wisdom,
Has mountains for each.
Though the top of the mountain
May seem out of reach...

He teaches and stretches us.
Then over time...
We will discover
How high we can climb.

"...But we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
Romans 5:3-5 KJV
