The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. (Zeph 3:17)
When we think in terms of weights and measures, mass and density, there are so many things that fall under the term "almost impossible". I am reminded of the story of a home owner who bought a house with a rather huge boulder in the basement. No one could remove it. There was no way - the greatest minds in the area had not be able to come up with a way to reduce the size of the boulder without destroying the house. One young man, not too swift on his feet, came to the home owner and proposed that he could take care of it. The home owner agreed, thinking if the smartest people in their fields could not figure a way to get it out, this poor soul will be wasting his time, but if it makes him happy - go for it! The young man was in the basement for days. Finally, he emerged and told the home owner he had taken care of the problem. Amazed, the home owner went to his basement to find the boulder had vanished. He asked the young man "how" he did it! The young man looked at him and very sincerely said that the hardest part was getting started, but one he had begun to dig, the boulder slowly began to descend into the hole. He had not removed it, just moved it from above the ground to beneath the ground.
We look at what we believe cannot be done! We are the ultimate pessimists when it comes to what our Creator can do. We serve a God who can and will move mountains for us. He wants us to succeed. He wants us to reach our final destination joyfully, praising His name as we go! He offers us so many opportunities to serve Him. Our mountains don't generally move all at once, although it is not impossible (as many of us know first hand). They move slowly, sometimes only inches at a time, but they do move. We must have faith that they will move, that God has had a plan for us long before He created us.
In the hours and minutes of our day, remembering who it is we are here to serve and what it is we are called to do is paramount! Nothing that passes through our lives is insignificant. Each moment, each event has a purpose. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we learn, we grow, we stumble, we fall, we rise, we bow, we worship and we praise! We are held steadfast by the rock - Jesus, our foundation! He is as close to you as you are to your keyboard and He never leaves your side. He is sitting with you when you are stuck in traffic, He is there when you are afraid. He is there whenever you need Him (which in my case is quite frequently). He reaches out His mighty hand and calms the storm within you and settles the wind around you. He is God - a God of love and understanding, of acceptance and forgiveness. He is never-failing! Surrender your life, your work, your soul to His way, His saving grace will fill you and you, too, will be able to move mountains!
