Not all mountains are to avoided
Numbers 14:7-9
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not
When Caleb first laid eyes on his mountain, he saw that it had giants in it. But he also saw that it had giant-size harvests—clusters of grapes so huge and heavy that a single cluster had to be carried on a pole between the shoulders of two full-grown men. Did you know, sometimes we avoid giants that occupy our space, not knowing that the giants are also scared of us. Caleb knew it was a land of abundance, and he knew that God had given it to him and his people.
That’s why when he brought back word to everyone else, he said, “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey’” (Num. 14:7–8).
Caleb didn’t see the giant-populated mountain as a problem. He saw it as his portion. Years later, when he said, “Give me this mountain!”, he knew there were exceedingly good things waiting for him in that land. He knew the Lord wasn’t going to let any giant stand between him and the giant-size blessings that belonged to him.
Dear brethren, don't carry the mountains, just climb the mountains. Carrying the mountains will tear you down but climbing will make you view the land from a better and elevated perspective.
