Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Sometimes when we are in a valley, we see the mountain in front of as insurmountable. That is when we exercise our faith of a mustard seed and overcome that mountain. Have a blessed day today and always.

What Is the Significance of Mountains in the Bible?

BY JOE PAPROCKI MAY 20, 2022

As a result, mountains and hills are mentioned more than 500 times in Scripture. Mountains have a logical religious symbolism for Jewish and Christian cultures since they are “closer to God”…

I don't know if its the fault of the internet or it's sibling, social media, but we seem to have become a society that thrives on making mountains out of mole hills.
