Mountain-Moving Faith

So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." -Matthew 17:20

When you plant a seed, God changes the nature of that seed so that it becomes a plant, and the power of life surges into that tender, young plant to such a great extent that even a mountain of earth cannot stop it from pushing upward! 

Jesus said that our faith in God is like a seed. When we put our faith into action, that is, when we release it to God, it takes on a totally new nature. It takes on the nature of a miracle in the making.  

What is the mountain in your life? Loneliness? Loss of a job? Disease? A wounded relationship? Trouble in your home? Something else? Be encouraged! Jesus shows the way to see that mountain removed! God says you can apply your faith to see your daily needs met. 

How? You sow the mustard-seed smallness of your faith into an action of love. Then, when your faith is planted and is growing, speak to your mountain and watch God set about its removal. 

Matthew
