Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. (1 Tim. 6:17-18)

It's the Climb!

My daughters are big Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana fans. We often listen to Radio Disney as we drive around town, and their favorite song has to be Miley's latest hit, The Climb. This song has great lyrics and a great message.




I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but

There's a voice inside my head sayin,

You'll never reach it,

Every step I'm taking,

Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking but I

Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high


There's always going to be another mountain

I'm always going to want to make it move

Always going to be an uphill battle,

Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,

Ain't about how fast I get there,

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb


The struggles I'm facing,

The chances I'm taking

Sometimes they knock me down but

No I'm not breaking

I may not know it

But these are the moments that

I'm going to remember most yeah

Just got to keep going

And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause


There's always going to be another mountain

I'm always going to want to make it move

Always going to be an uphill battle,

Sometimes you going to have to lose,

Ain't about how fast I get there,

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb


Keep on moving

Keep climbing

Keep the faith baby

It's all about

It's all about

The climb

Keep the faith

Keep your faith


It's easy to get ahead of ourselves in life. We desire to achieve the mountaintop experience and what is waiting for us on the other side, but we want it to come easy and quickly. Some of the things we desire in life, though, won't come easily or quickly.

This is a good thing. It's only through the struggle of getting to the top of the mountain that we learn and we grow. We need to embrace the process of change in our own lives. The process of change that occurs within us when we attempt seemingly impossible goals such as writing a book, raising Godly children, building a business, or healing a broken marriage.

What's your mountain you're climbing, today? Keep on moving. Keep climbing. Embrace the challenge. Embrace the change that is taking place in your life!
