Faith to Move Mountains

  He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” ~ Matthew 17:20

My pastor recently had us examine a mountain and speak out loud to it.  And then he gave us a mustard seed.  It was a powerful sermon for me and really put things in perspective.  I can have giant mountains in front of me, but they can move and I can face them if I just have a little faith.

My faith is not in myself, but in the One who actually does the work- God.  He may move the mountain all together because He has the power to that, if I believe.  Or he may want e to face the mountain just so that I learn to trust Him as I climb.  Having faith in Him assures me that He will give me the strength to get to the top of it and stand in victory.

I carry the seed with me and when problems arise on my job or in my personal life I can think about the faith I need and move forward in God.  I don't have to stay stuck.  I have grace and mercy with me.  All I need is a little faith and I speak to the mountains.  I speak to what's blocking me from access to my Savior and my refuge.  I move those out the way and find peace in His arms.

Lord, thank You for letting us know we only need a little faith to face the challenges of this life.  Thank You for giving us this faith.  Help us to nurture it so that it can grow. Let us be a source of encouragement to others.  We love You Lord.  In Jesus name.  Amen
