b'If you have ever gone hiking, you know how hard that first climb can be. I remember hiking the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The challenge was always looking up and seeing what looked like the peak. With that in view, regardless of how far it seemed, as long as you knew that was the end point, you could keep going. But the greatest obstacle was once you reached the peak, you suddenly realize that it wasn\\u2019t the peak at all. Instead, it was the fold of the terrain and the real peak was still not in view. That false sense of finish can keep a hiker from finishing the climb.\\nIn the same way, the last chapter of Nehemiah reveals obstacles that the Israelites faced as they pressed on in their own climb. They are 1) Moments, 2) Pragmatism, 3) Unbelief, and 4) Conformity. And unless we also realize these obstacles are the same for us as well, we too will not finish. But there is still hope.\\xa0\\nText: Nehemiah 13Speaker: Sam ShinDate: 5/5/19'
