The Toughest Mountain Climb

Mountain top experiences are life changing.

The excitement of the climb is exhilarating.

There is wonder in the upward, tough climb that demands much from the body.

Coming down isn’t always easy – you want to linger.

The downward walk may be just as or more demanding than the upward climb

Detachment from all but the present experience causes an intense focus

Moriah.

The mountain climb that has the soul in agony because of Who calls.

And why Yahweh calls

At this mountain top dreams and hopes, soul treasures must be left

Nothing can be kept back – all of the best must be on the altar

Consumed, there is no taking them back

Only ashes remain, and exhaustion from the tears.

Abraham’s exchange at Moriah - Isaac lived

Moriah; Yahweh always has an exchange for the ashes

Holy Spirit blow on the ashes of our Moriah

Breath life into the exchange, give us new life.

Fill the empty spaces with the most glorious of exchanges.
