“With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." -Mark 10:27
If you stand at the base of Mount Everest and look to the sky, you will see the challenging 29,029 feet summit reflecting the bright sun. If in winter you will see the chilling winds blowing the ice and snow as if a volcano had just erupted. The jagged rocks edge and the ice covered terrain create a fear of unknown and danger to the onlooker. But in 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary, looked up at this magnificent wonder from the creator of the universe and ascended to the summit, along with Tenzing Norgay. Together they rejoiced in the accomplishment and buried a cross and a few sweets at the top in remembrance. They had accomplished something that had been tried many times for the 30 years prior, yet had never been done. People had died in their attempts, and some had successfully made it back down to tell the stories that it could never be done. Today, there are groups of 40 at a time that reach the summit, alongside the help of trained expert Nepali Sherpa’s, and lots of oxygen tanks.
What is your Mount Everest? You don’t have to travel to Tibet to take on the unfathomable task. Remember, “You cannot climb a mountain without looking up.” (Rich Palmer) There are things in your life everyday that have you at a point of despair and ready to give up. Finances, health, relationships, rebellious children or even the large task at the office. God is an ever present source of answers in your life and through the Holy Spirit is engaged in your daily activities and decisions. Turn these big challenges over to the Creator of the Universe, with a humble heart and desire for Him to take control. It may not be accomplished in a day or two, because in many cases it is a learning experience for you and those around you. But, God hears your prayers and will carry it through in His timing. We see in Philippians 4:19, “my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” You need to trust and have faith in this word from the Lord.
