Conquer Your Mountains

June 17

Have you ever faced a mountain of challenge and felt overwhelmed by its sheer magnitude? The mountain may regard your health or your financial security in a troubled economy or it may regard betrayal by someone you trusted. No matter its source or its nature, be mindful of the fact that the Lord wants you to not only face your mountain but to believe in the faithfulness of the One who has called you to conquer it.

Jesus wants you to stand firm knowing that the most formidable mountains that stand before you can be "brought down and cast into the sea," Mark 11:23. He also wants you to know that the things He has set before you to accomplish in the behalf of His Kingdom will be attained as you work in concert with Him and rely fully upon His strength!

Jesus promised you complete victory over mountains when He spoke in Matthew 17:20, “For surely, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there, and it will move; and for nothing will be impossible for you.” And He has promised you the help you need as you take the steps to conquer your mountains, including the word He spoke through David, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23). He will hold your hand and keep you (Isaiah 42:6) as you scale the mountains life places before you.

You have a word directly from God that promises you can turn a mountain of disease, despair, doubt, financial impossibility, relational difficulty, professional challenge, personal short-coming or any other challenge that looms before you into a molehill! As this happens, you will see the impossible made possible, for His Word that cannot fail and cannot lie assures, ”Though it is impossible with men, with God, nothing is impossible," Matthew 19:26.
