Mountains into molehills
Deut. 2:6
You have circled the mountain long enough, now turn North.
I can't tell you how much this verse has meant to me lately. I found it unexpectedly one day- though the Spirit knew right where to direct me....
Found in the depths of Deuteronomy, this verse addresses the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.
Fearful, self-absorbed, and lost they traveled looking only at there external environment rather than their Internal environment.
The same is true all too often for us.....
We travel around and around the same mountain. Day after day....sometimes it seems like an endless wilderness....
So we need to do one thing...STOP! Look at the mountain - it's much too big for you....
turn North....and give it to the only One who can handle it... the One who loves you more than anything. Give it to God and the mountain will shrink.
How easy it seems yet we take such pride in trying to do it ourselves.... complete the Journey by giving it up. Give up your free will to 'do it yourself' and make your life a whole lot easier....
Make the mountain INTO a mole-hill.
You've circled long enough, look North and the mountain will disappear!
Blessings my sweet sisters....
