Matthew 17:19-20 WEB
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you,
if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you,
if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Promise #164: Nothing will be impossible for those who have even a little faith.
In this promise, Jesus tells us that even if our faith is as tiny as a mustard seed, we are able to tell a mountain to be thrown into the sea. Since I haven't seen many mountains hurled into the sea lately, I often wonder what Jesus meant when He said these words to His disciples.
Of course we all have many figurative mountains in our lives that we face on a daily basis. Perhaps it isn't the literal mountains around us that need moving, but these figurative ones? Maybe one day we will see literal mountains cast into the oceans, but in the meantime, what are the mountains in your life where you need a miracle? I love the fact that Jesus encourages us that we don't need much faith at all to make a big impact.
From what I understand, a mustard seed is a very small seed, yet Jesus says even if our faith is that small, nothing will be impossible to us. Maybe it is time to start exercising the faith that you have? Start speaking to the mountains in your life with a childlike simplicity, just believing that they have to go away in Jesus name. Who knows what may start to happen?
When I think of this promise, I am reminded of the man who came to Jesus to ask Him to deliver his son and Jesus asked him... "Do you believe?". The man responded "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief!" Jesus didn't rebuke the man for this response but healed his son instantly.
God understands our frailty, yet He continues to encourage us to simply have faith and watch what happens. Today I am going to speak to the mountains in my life, how about you?
