The spiritual mountain confronting each of us is a climb into the strength of spirit - while witnessing all the crying about us in life. Christians have a higher vision mindful of much more than the earth’s confines in time. Unsatisfied desires can leave one bitter, but know bitterness disturbs a full content relationship with God. It has been said to look into yourself to examine if one is in the faith He delivered or not. Believing in men can delude one into a false sense of security. Only diligently seeking out His word delivers the truth all seek to find. Belief in God feeds the soul’s return to sense ● His eyes and ears realize cries of the righteous ● The Lord delivers the righteous from their troubles ● We need to ask for strength against souls who hate ● It is through striving that we return to peace in Him ● In contempt we become cynically untrusting ● Sacrifices of thanksgiving & joy is healing He gives ● Freedom in vision comes to who love the Lord ● Success in life is only achieved through helping ● God knows who puts their trust in Him ● Each of us alone must overcome temptations ● Temptations are overcome when trust is in Him ● It is by faith that a person can stand for joy of God ● With content confidence in God, what can man do? The help of God delivers us back to Him Darkness has nowhere to pierce
