Guess what? God moves mountains!
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Now, that is not something new to me. I have watched Him move immovable mountains all my life. But to watch it happen in the life of a dear friend who is just learning to trust Him with the impossible bursts my buttons! I am so proud of my God. I often tell people that He can be trusted with anything, and He can. However, there’s always that wondering if He will choose to do this thing. I always know it’s for a higher purpose if He says no, but when helping someone learn to walk by faith, it’s so good when He does something like this.
In this case, the friend had an immovable mountain, impossible by human standards, and God showed her that He had her back all along. Even though she just received the news that the mountain was gone, it was gone for several days before she could see it. I have never seen God late. I have never seen Him fail His people. I have never seen Him break a promise. He is faithful, even when we are unfaithful. GLORY!!!!
Remember that, to God, our mountains are like little pebbles in His hand. When we look at life from His perspective, we see how little we needed to worry. We see His mighty hand compared to the tiny bump and realize He’s got it. We may live on this earth, but we are not constrained by earthly boundaries. Our Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills, loves us with a deep, abiding, faithful, never-ending love, and has a wonderful plan for our lives. How awesome is that?
So next time you have an immovable mountain, step back and see that your God is so much bigger than that mountain, that the mountain seems totally insignificant in comparison. We have the power within us, through the Holy Spirit, to experience wonders beyond our imagination if we will just trust Him and let Him work in us. I, for one, refuse to live a mediocre life. I want to live an abundant life for Him. It’s not easy, but it’s so worth it!!!!
Do you have a mountain that needs moving? Have you seen God do the impossible before? What do you think?

I’ve just recently been saying to my daughters at college, and the highschooler, where there are difficulties, “God is bigger than your problem. Trust Him. He can fix it.” So I loved your post!

Thank you Zellie! He is and He is always on time. Trust is something that comes hard for some though. Sounds like you’re teaching them the right way 🙂

Hi Angie a great message and yes our God is God of the impossible and as His Children in Christ Jesus, we have nothing to fear as you shared, His plans for us are good and as He conforms us by our willingness to choose His guidelines into the image of Jesus, who set us free, we know Him in our heart and have His assurance.
I have linked your message to my Post Angie, I had been thinking about the Story and your message and Scripture confirmed I should Post it, the link is below, I hope you will be encouraged and uplifted the same as your message did for me and I’m sure others, strangely this Story is very simular to what happened in a Church we were members of… God is indeed Awesome!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen God do the impossible from human perspectives. I’m glad it sparked you to share your post. Maybe soon I’ll be able to share the entire story, but for now, it’s not mine to tell. God did the impossible though, and showed what He can do!!!

One I was just thinking about tonight was someone I knew who was so far into drugs that there was seemingly no hope. He should be dead actually, or in prison. Instead he is a follower of Jesus, has a family and a job. So many people believe God can raise Jesus from the dead and then don’t believe He can accomplish something much easier, by comparison, in their own life. The story of Abraham comes to mind because he needed constant reassurance of the plan. Then the disciples who in fact saw Jesus do miracles often needed reminders. Thankfully God is patient with us.

It’s amazing how often we need that reassurance. I have seen God change lives like that many times, and look forward to seeing it many more 🙂
