Losing Weight Is Like Climbing a Mountain

Losing weight does not have to feel like a losing battle, or like you are climbing a mountain. I have tried many times to lose my extra pounds and failed until I looked at my situation differently. God gave me an amazing revelation about climbing mountains. See, I climbed Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona this past January. As I was reflecting over the mountain of weight loss in my life, God reminded me of how it felt to come down off of Camelback Mountain, and the fact is that it hurt. It hurt just as bad as climbing up the mountain. Wow.

What a revelation. As I came down Camelback Mountain I was exercising different muscles in my legs then when climbing the mountain. I begin to think of all the times I had testified with my tongue that I was continuously climbing a mountain. Never did I once consider that maybe I was coming down from the mountain. Now scripture is clear on the power of our tongue. Proverbs 18:21 states: The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruits. (NIV) While 1 Peter 3:10 states: For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. (NIV) All the times I thought I was still climbing a mountain I could have been two steps from coming off it.. yet because I felt pain, I decided that I must still be climbing, my testimony kept me on the mountain instead of bringing me off it.

Sometimes we are going through hard times and the mountain seems never ending. Well, if you haven't physically climbed a mountain before, I recommend you take a day a climb one. Going up a mountain or coming down a mountain, are both equally difficult. If you are in the mist of a trial and it appears as though you will never see the end of the mountain. Take a moment and change your testimony to one that acknowledges that you are coming down off the mountain. I remember when I came close to the bottom of Camelback Mountain, I ran to get off, I pressed through. Versus climbing up the mountain and deciding that I have so far to go that I might as well take a break. Is it possible you are at the end of your trial, yet your muscles hurt from coming down? Is it possible that you are one solution toward the weight you desire? Absolutely! So simply Get up and press and get off that mountain.
