In Joshua chapter 17, the Mountain Country is not the desirable land. It’s rocky, forested. filled with Canaanite giants, and, these Canaanites giants have iron chariots, to boot! So, it isn’t any surprise when Ephraim and Manasseh receive their tract of land in the Mountain Country that it translated to them as a bit of a downer. We all have the same tendency to underrate the value of the Mountain Country in our own lives. Most of us simply want flat farm land without any obstacles, hindrances, or foes nearby. But, God loves us too much to give us something that dull and boring. Our God specializes in supplying us with the perfect land to match our soul’s need. He is in the business of growing us up to be mighty, and there is nothing quite like a tract of Mountain Country to do the job.
