Tell the Mountain to MOVE!

"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "O tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." Matthew 17:20

We all have situations we are praying to move and to change, but sometimes they can't until you have so much faith that you imagine it already being changed, and start thanking God for the change before it even happens. I remember hearing a sermon, my Dad preached on one Sunday, he told a story of a woman who had a huge hill of dirt across the street from her house, it blocked the sunset and it really bothered her. She talked to her pastor about it and her pastor read her this verse and said start praying for it to move. She then every evening as she was at her kitchen window she bean to pray to see the sunset, and that the mountain would move, and one morning she woke up and dump trucks had pulled in to the dirt hill across the street, and they began to tear it down. The mountain of dirt was moved, she could watch the sunset each evening. I think that is how life works a lot, we have to pray and keep praying until the mountain is moved. I'm sure if God could create you from the dirt, that God can change simple situations in our life, that seem big to us. Start believing God is moving that mountain, and tell it to move! Here are some verses to reflect on today. "God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God." Ephesians 2:8 "Faith shows the reality of things hoped for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1 "It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exist and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him." Hebrews 11:6 "But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!" Isaiah 54:17

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
