“I tell you the truth, 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.".” Matt. 17:20
This is the final faith food entrée from this passage in Matthew 17. Honestly, I’ve pondered this and similar passages of Scripture for many years. A question that comes up in my ponderings is “If this verse is true, if having mustard seed faith is in the realm of possibilities for any Christian, why aren’t we all a little more zealous in the pursuit of it?”
What mountainous impossibilities lie before you?
Is it the repentance of a wayward son or daughter or family member who has made it perfectly clear for decades that they want nothing to do with Jesus? Is it the healing of a terminally ill loved one who’s doctor is absolutely convinced will not live another week? Or is it relief from a financial crisis? Could it be the restoration of a broken marriage? What about national repentance and revival?
Are any of these mountains immovable?
Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with thee bring;
For His grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much;
None can ever ask too much. - John Newton, 1779
Selah.
