All Believers have mountains to compass. Sometimes our duties are mountains, sometimes our trials. Some have more mountains than others. Some have harder ones than others. Some make mountains out of what would be only molehills to those who are braver than they are. But this will be the lesson: God gives all His children mountains to compass. All Believers must compass their mountains. There can be no rebellious refusal of the task God sets for us. There is no room for any ingenious evasion of His commands. There can never be permitted any sudden leaping over or flying across the difficult ridge of duty. There can be no changing of mountains with each other in the hope of getting easier ones. God’s sovereignty decides when the mountain is compassed long enough. There is a period set for continuance and cessation. Long enough--for the mountain’s sake. Real work has to be done slowly and patiently. Some tasks cannot be at all hurried. Long enough--for our own sakes. Certain disciplines must be wrought out upon our characters. Dispositions, like finest wines, require what can be done for them only by time and proper preparation. Yahweh was preparing these people for Canaan before He suffered a single one of them to enter. Long enough--- for others sake. The young Israelites were held back to give the older ones. decorous space in which to die (Deu 2:14). Long enough--for the Lord s sake. He asks us to labour on and wait on his directions. All is done for his glory and not ours.
