Most people who live in a valley, get up in the morning to look at the mountain! The sights are not identical each morning!
The valley has meadows and the mountain has snow covering it!
It is in the meadows the plants bear flowers and trees bring forth fruits. It is in the mountain the water brooks exist to give flowing water!
The valley gives us one experience and the mountain yet another!
The geography of the terrains is different but it is in its compositeness and interdependence there is wholeness!
The mountain is metaphorically a symbol of God and his goodness. That is why the Psalmist spoke of the mountain, as 'from where our help comes from'!
How much ever abundant one might feel while living in the valley, there is a call to look to the Lord of our lives, from whom we receive all things in plenty!
This is my discovery at the end of six decades of living!
