Going Around The Same Mountain

Have you ever found yourself having to go around the Sam mountain, having to deal with the same or similar situation time and time again?

I know I have in my life. How long do we have to through the same situations time and time again until we realize we have to try something different, such as looking at other options that are available to us.

In Deuteronomy 2:3, God told the Israelites, “You have been traveling around this mountain country long enough.” As a result of their lack of faith and disobedience, the Israelites spent 40 years instead of a few weeks traveling from Egypt to the promised land. At one juncture, they journeyed around the same mountain in the desert for such a long time that the Lord Himself told them, “it is enough.”

Mountains in scripture often symbolize challenges or problems. The Bible and our experiences teach us it is possible to deal with the same problem issue for many years, possibly for an entire lifetime.

What mountain comes to mind in your life? Is it possible for us to alter the course of circumstances in our life?

With God, nothing is impossible, significant turnaround in life requires unusual decisions and actions. Sadly, we are often not ready or willing to ask, seek, or knock until the door to our desired miracles or breakthroughs opens.

If God does not touch you, sometimes you have to touch Him. If you are still going around the same mountain in your life, make up your mind to seek, to knock until the door to that miracle opens.

Ask God to help us choose a different option that would produce a different result. I good result that can get us to move on.

Going around the mountain becomes exhausting, and frustrating, and can even produce a since of hopelessness..

The realization and acknowledgment of the lack of movement forward can be really helpful. It helps us recognize what is really happening at that point in life and can also identify our situation of why we keep going around in circles and not getting anywhere.

What do you need to do to move forward?

What are the possible reasons for going around and around?

Whether it’s unbelief in regard to God’s Word and promises for your life, A lack of trust in God, or simply not being able to let go of the past.

In order to move forward and embrace the future you may have to do something God has asked you to do before you can move on. Until this is completed you won’t be able to move on.

There are times when we may need to wait on God. But if He is bringing something to your attention -pay attention.

It is vital that we not only pay attention to what is happening to us, but also pay attention to what God is telling us. In order to get you to the destination God has for you. You can’t move forward until we begin to pay attention to why we keep moving through the same circumstances.

It’s so easy to ignore our circumstances or keep pushing them to the back of our minds. But, it is not the solution to the problem. Eventually, we have to face them head-on.
