Need to Move a Mountain?
Having a tough day? Week? Month? Year?
Do you need to move a mountain in order to see your dreams
come true? Or even just survive physically, emotionally, financially?
I know . . . sometimes it feels impossible to climb the rough
terrain in front of us. We think we’re making progress, only to find ourselves losing
ground.
When we grow weary from the journey, we need to remember that God
is mightier than anything that stands in the way of us experiencing victory.
Find encouragement in these words, taken from the Bible, New
International Version (NIV).
Job 9:5
He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger.
Isaiah
40:4
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
Isaiah
45:2
I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars
of iron.
Micah 1:4
The mountains melt
beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water
rushing down a slope.
Nahum 1:5
The mountains quake
before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the
world and all who live in it.
Matthew
21:21
Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not
doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say
to this mountain, ‘Go, throw
yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.”
Mark 11:23
“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in
their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for
them.
Music often speaks to me more than anything else. So, today I’m sharing the video of the song “Do It Again” by Elevation Worship (see below). But first, here are some of the lyrics:
Walking
around these walls
I
thought by now they’d fall
But
You have never failed me yet
Waiting
for change to come
Knowing
the battle’s won
For
You have never failed me yet.
I’ve
seen You move, You move the mountains
And
I believe, I’ll see You do it again
You
made a way, where there was no way
And
I believe, I’ll see you do it again.
Wow! Aren’t those powerful words? God has moved mountains
before—and he’ll do it again! For you! Do
you believe that?
What
mountains are you trying to conquer today? How do you plan to move them out of
your way?
