Climbing The Mountains Of Life
Life is full of struggles fear-provoking mountains that attempt to block the passage of us achieving our hopes, joys, and God-driven dreams. Faulty perceptions - like:Nothing good can come out of these circumstances, I am unlovable, No escape from my problems exist - too many times fool our perseverance in believing that this mountain cannot be climbed, leading to tyranny in the form of despair. Amidst all this, freedom is still there to be grasped, because anything is possible if a person believes (Mark 9:23).
In Matthew 17:20, Jesus said If you have faith 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. Today, just like how Jesus back then challenged His disciples to have mustard seed-sized faith, He is now challenging us to have the same kind of faith during our times of need. Trust promises like Jeremiah 29:11-13, Romans 8:28,35-39, and 1 Corinthians 10:13 as you surrender your fears to Christ. Doing this results into the necessitated stable footing, and also the Vines (John 15) power to overcome, both needed by us to climb through rough mountainous terrain as we wait for God to deliver us through the trial.
