“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).
Last week, on Saturday, I said that we would see another kind of mountain today. I have used a verse from Mark’s gospel, but it is in connection with the same incident we saw on Saturday—the fig tree withering away.
Sometimes in our lives there are situations that seem like mountains to us. They are so big that we feel that we cannot handle them. I remember one occasion, when I was in high school, and a number of bad things happened to me all at once. When I look back on them, they do not seem all that serious, but they seemed like mountains then. Maybe this has happened to you too.
When this happens to us, we can go to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to remove the mountain. He may not remove it right away, but He is able to deal with difficult and complicated situations that seem like mountains to us. But we must go to the Lord in faith and trust Him to help us. He is willing to do this for us, if we ask Him.
