"But also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done." Matt. 21:21
Our God is so immense that He could do this at any time in the same way that He divided the Red sea for Israel. Jesus tells us that we will be able to do this as well with a "mustard seed" sized faith.
I have not physically moved a mountain before. Have you? I know that my God is capable of anything yet I wonder if there is another take to this. Maybe at times the moving of the mountain is a matter of a movement of my perspective. We all face mountains at various times of our lives. We wonder, "how will we ever make it? When we first see the mountain our perspective tells us that it is immense - beyond our ability to overcome.
Then God enters into the picture (if we will let Him) and say's, You can do this and I will help. He helps us conquer the fear of the heights, to scale the difficult cliffs, and He sometimes literally carries us up and over the Mountain. When once on the other side we see that the mountain has indeed "changed". It is not as big as once thought. What has changed? Was the mountain moved? Well, maybe God literally dissolved the problem right before our eyes. But often what really changes is that our perspective has adjusted and has become more confident as we climbed over the mountain (walked through our difficulty).
From the new vantage point gained from going through the trials and problems of life we see that the mountain has actually "moved". God has changed our perspective - He has given us His point of view. Fear has taken a fall. Maybe this is some of what it means to be "more than and overcomer through Christ."
The things that we face are difficult and troubling at times. Sometimes we are overwhelmed by the complexity or immensity of a "mountain" before us. But our heavenly Father is the God of the "mountain". Ask Him to give you His perspective on the difficulties before you.
