「山地也要歸你。」－約書亞記17:18
向上發展永遠都有空間！
當迦南人佔據谷地，他們的鐵車鐵馬阻礙了你擴展疆界時，你可以往上發展，上山取得高地。
若你無法在前線為神作工，你還可以在後頭為主的工人們禱告；若你沒有話語恩賜以感動人，你的禱告卻必能感動神；或許你的工作在地上沒有果效，你可以將你的工作積存在天上，向屬天神聖的境地發展。
信心能使樹林倒下。
以色列人沒有信心上山砍除叢林，儘管他們知道在那裡有寶藏等著他們。但當神指示他們時，祂提醒他們已擁有足夠的力量征服山林。
不要讓那些在我們面前有如無止無盡的叢林、看似無法完成的事情嘲弄我們；這些事情該激勵我們，使我們不憑靠自己，反而憑著神在我們裡面儲備的大能來完成。
難處不過是向我們顯明神的能力，這能力向著那些信靠祂的人，是何等超越的浩大。
你在谷中受困掙扎嗎？向山上走去吧；在那裡你將從磐石中取出蜂蜜，從林中尋得寶藏！
"The hill country shall be thine" (Josh. 17:18, RV).There is always room higher up. When the valleys are full of Canaanites, whose iron chariots withstand your progress, get up into the hills, occupy the upper spaces. If you can no longer work for God, pray for those who can. If you cannot move earth by your speech, you may move Heaven. If the development of life on the lower slopes is impossible, through limitations of service, the necessity of maintaining others, and such-like restrictions, let it break out toward the unseen, the eternal, the Divine.
Faith can fell forests. Even if the tribes had realized what treasures lay above them, they would hardly have dared to suppose it possible to rid the hills of their dense forest-growth. But as God indicated their task, He reminded them that they had power enough. The visions of things that seem impossible are presented to us, like these forest-covered steeps, not to mock us, but to incite us to spiritual exploits which would be impossible unless God had stored within us the great strength of His own indwelling.
Difficulty is sent to reveal to us what God can do in answer to the faith that prays and works. Are you straitened in the valleys? Get away to the hills, live there; get honey out of the rock, and wealth out of the terraced slopes now hidden by forest. --Daily Devotional Commentary
