Reaching The Mountain Peak

Desire to reach "a mountain peak"
May seem quite hard or look quite bleak.
It may only be a dream...
But one which isn't too extreme.

If we really want to "climb",
Know that training will take time.
We must start way down below,
Learning skills which help us grow.

The valley is our testing ground
Where many lessons will abound.
We will only start to climb
When we are ready... in God's time.

Stepping-stones along the way
Will require us to pray.
And when God sees we are ready
He will make our footsteps steady.

"It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places."
Psalm 18:32-33 KJV
