The View from the Top

It is a common belief that mountains have much significance as places where people can connect with God. A high place depicting a closeness to God, not to mention the challenge to ascend to that high place.

Great things seem to happen on the mount, but I tend to only focus on the end-result: the blessing or the event at the top. What I tend to lose track of is the effort it takes to ascend to a height. When folks say things like "it's an uphill battle," it is to suggest that the battle itself is more difficult due to the greater challenge of the hill.

I've also heard it said that the best view comes after the hardest climb.
