March 26th | Moving Mountains

Many people never see mountains move simply because they never take that first step of trusting God.

Zechariah 4:7

"What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground."

The "mighty mountain" in Zechariah’s day likely represented the overwhelming obstacles facing God’s people as they attempted to rebuild the temple after exile. The task seemed impossible—resources were scarce, opposition was fierce, and the work felt too great for their strength. Yet God declared that this mountain would be leveled, not by human might or power, but by His Spirit.

Matthew 17:20

"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."

Jesus emphasized that it is not the quantity of our faith that matters most, but the quality—specifically, where that faith is placed. Even faith the size of a tiny mustard seed, when rooted in God, carries extraordinary power. The disciples had been unable to cast out a demon from a boy, and they asked Jesus why. His answer pointed them back to the object of their faith rather than its size.

This truth is echoed in **1 Corinthians 13:2**:

"If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."

True mountain-moving faith is always connected to love for God and others. It recognizes that God’s power is limitless, even when our faith feels small or immature. God doesn’t wait for our belief to be perfect or fully mature before He acts. He understands that faith is a process—it grows over time as we walk with Him.

The Christian life is not a single event but a lifelong journey of growth. Faith often starts small, but it must start.

Many people never see mountains move simply because they never take that first step of trusting God.

The more we come to know God—His character, His will, and His unlimited power—the stronger our faith becomes. Our daily actions begin to reflect a deeper confidence in Him. The Bible calls this “living faith.”

When Jesus said, “Nothing will be impossible for you,” He wasn’t promising that we could accomplish anything we desire through sheer willpower. Rather, He was assuring us that no obstacle—whether external difficulties, personal weaknesses, or self-doubt—can ultimately hinder God’s purposes when we place our trust in Him.

With God, what is humanly impossible becomes possible.
