As my mind’s eye sees a mountain[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]reaching to the heavenly sky. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I think of Lord He [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]how He has created such beauty[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]while standing in great aww.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This mountain standing tall[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]as far as the eyes can gaze[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]what secrets that lie deep within over time.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]There in the corner of my eye[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]there is a glimpse of water [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]trickling down the other side. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The water springs up to the surface[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]as it flows down the rugged terrain.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The mountain may be our we desire [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]that is something we may wish to climb. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Without the training[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]this task would be almost impossible [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]knowing with one slip death will be calling.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]A wise soul seeks wisdom[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and understanding in all matters.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A fool will say [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“I can do this without any advice.” [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Being blinded by the slippery slopes[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]of hasty decisions. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The spring of desire flows over [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and the will wants to do what it thinks is best.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Calamity and destruction follows the fool [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]when left with no instructor.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The Bible is our teacher to show us the way.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Every journey is like a slippery mountain[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]we want to reach the destination of success.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Bible clearly states [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Proverbs 3:5-6[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Trust in the LORD with all your heart,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and lean not on your own understanding;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]in all your ways submit to him [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and he will make your paths straight.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Are you looking to God with aww?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Just not at the natural mountain of slender [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]your eyes can see.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What about the mountains of life [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]that is slippery and steep.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Are you depending on the Holy Spirit to lead?[/FONT]

A nice poem with a great message in it. Also a reminder came to mind:

Matthew 17:20

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
