You Must Climb the Mountain to See

If you climb the mountain, you can see the road you want to take
farther and more clearly,
so why do you not climb it, but keep circling at its foot?
If you prepare with the Word and prayer and climb the mountain with patience,
you will surely be able to see stony ground and thorny paths
ahead of time and go around them,
and go on your way seeing even God’s blessings and plans.
Come now, take heart and climb up.
Only when you come up the mountain can you see.
