Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, Why couldnt we drive it out? He replied, Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, 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 will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:19-20 NIV) When I read this passage in the Bible, I cannot help but to feel that I did not have enough faith. But what this passage is really telling us, is that all we need to do is believe. You see, God works for people who have nothing else left but belief. He doesn’t care about how much you believe, just that you do. This is a relief to all of us, especially those of us who have been Christ followers a majority of our lives, because there is now no fault on our part to work the miracles of God except to believe that it is a possibility– that is to say, anything can happen with God. Any situation in your life that requires nothing short of a miracle must now be considered a possibility. Whether you need the miracle at your job, or lack thereof, relationships with people, finances, or even with the traffic that faces you Wednesday morning. Nothing is impossible if you just try to believe. Today, I want you to believe, or at least try. I want you to have an outlook on your life that is full of belief. You may have been jaded by mountains not moving in the past, but that doesn’t mean the mountains will not move now or in the future. When we are faithful (trying) then everything is possible. God is with us, we are His children– just believe it.
