“You Gave Me a Mountain” (sometimes credited as “Lord, You Gave Me a Mountain”) is a song written by country singer-songwriter Marty Robbins during the 1960’s. I only heard it sung by Johnny Cash.
It was about an individual who never had a break in life and he said as much to God. I acknowledge that God does give us mountains but never one that can’t be climbed.
Caleb was promised a mountain full of opposition by God, but that didn’t deter Caleb from asking Joshua for it when the time came.
Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”
The problem is never the mountain or the opposition; it is the fact we just don’t want to climb it.
Give it some thought.
