Mountains That Won't Move

I read a devotional this morning, I'll share the concept.

As a mom, I face mountains all the time. Piles of dirty or clean laundry, Towers of blocks, Heaps of dirty dishes, Mounds of food under the table. How are we, as moms, to respond? The laundry won't go away, the kids will still play with blocks, we have to eat; so what is our response?


In Matthew 17:20, Jesus tell us to respond with Faith. His word tells us that even if our faith is as small as a mustard seed we can move mountains. So, if I surround myself with Jesus and His word and focus on Him, the mountains will in fact move. OK, maybe I will still have laundry to do and cleaning, but it won't seem like a mountain.



There are days when in fact we can put our faith in Jesus and the mountains still seem overwhelming, and they just won't move. We can hold onto Jesus, who is in control and let Him lead us through these days. He can get us around the mountains.
