We have a sign in our house that reads "Good morning. This is God. I will be handling all your problems today." That sign reminded me of a lesson from the Gospel of Matthew 17: 14-20. It's a lesson about faith or this instance the lack of faith. Jesus says in verse 20, "I tell you the truth if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing is impossible for you." How's your faith been lately, have you moved any mountains?
Scripture tell us that faith is "being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Faith is a gift from God, given to us through the power of the Holy Spirit and purchased for us by the blood of the lamb. In our lesson from Matthew we saw how the disciples were unable to heal the boy due to their lack of faith; God was no longer working through them. When we think we can do it on our own the truth is not in us and our faith is in doubt; but if you remember our sign "That God will gladly handle all of your problems today" then maybe you should give Him another chance to help you move that mountain today.
