For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Mark 11:23

********************

I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.

Mark 11:23

Good Morning Beloved,

Happy Friday!   What an absolutely beautiful day! 

What are we saying?  Is the mountain moving or laughing?  God says some interesting things right?… Sounds crazy doesn’t it.. talking to a mountain.  So, what do we do?  We try to rationalize it, or somehow make it fit what we think God is trying to say.  First of all God never stutters.  When He speaks, He is fully capable of backing up what He said.  Our problem is timing.  Just because the thing doesn’t happen this minute, this day or even (gasp!) this decade, we lose faith that it will ever happen.  Then we try to help God out (remember Abraham and Sarah…that house is still in shambles over that one).  God’s ways are higher than ours, His thoughts higher than ours… He is marvelous.  Ever notice how the best things in life, the most costly, the most precious, the most delicious, are those things which take the longest to make.  Things that simmer a little longer will taste a whole lot better in the end.  My good friend used to be a terrible cook.  I’m not calling her out, she knows who she is.  She was a very impatient person.  She used to cook box mac-n-cheese, but couldn’t wait for it to finish… her end result was a ‘crunchy’ mess. (thankfully, she’s come a long way and is a great cook today).  Now, my pastor, on the other hand, can make a baked mac-n-cheese that is so good it will have you singing… the difference?  Time.  He knows that to have a good finished product takes time.  So it is with the mountains in our life.  If the mountain is not moving, find out why.  Either it will with time, or you weren’t supposed to be talking to it in the first place.  What I do know is that God cannot lie…

…. and that Beloved is Good News…

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day

Dynamite -Mark 11:22 13 of 112   The power of God can remove any obstacle that is preventing you from getting to where God wants you to be. Our faith allows God to release His power in our lives, to remove the mountains in our way.

Made To Fly -Ephesians 2:10 79 of 112   God has a purpose and a plan for each of us, and in Christ, He has already given us all that we need to fulfill that plan. May 11, 2008
