Sometimes we see mountains as obstruction. But God opened my eyes upon seeing these majestic body of land that we can carve our way through mountains. The need to overcome is just our ego saying "I need to prove something". But dude you don't have to. We can loose sight of our goal when faced with gigantic mountains but its where we can purify goals, steps, and shape character. It's where we can meet and interact with God. A God who chose a mountain as His dwelling place (old testament) not a temple or a statue. Why? So we can go and seek for Him. Make it personal. Go out, get sweaty. If it's not challenging you, how can you distinguish the value of being right and the worth of being His son and daughter?
Mountains. Where Man goes up, and God comes down.
