Do you want to be amazed today, friend?
With what worry did you wake up this morning, friend? With worry about your future? Or do you just have too much work ahead of you? An appointment that's been making you nervous for a while? Is your relationship breaking up right now?
Do you know how Jesus would answer you directly right now?
"...For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20 ESV)
That's encouraging in the midst of our worries, isn't it? Do you think God can do that, friend? That He can just turn your big worry into a miracle?
I had one of those worries recently. So many misunderstandings had crept into a friendship that was so precious to me that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to save it. Besides, I had been away for a few days on business, so I couldn't resolve it on the spot.
God asked me, "Do you think I can work this out for you?" Funny how in moments like that we still briefly think, "Well, that's what I'm supposed to be there for, to address some issues."
And God laughs, for His offer stands, "...if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20 ESV)
So I decided to believe, and my day ended in amazement!
At the end of the day, as I fell into bed tired from a performance, I received the redeeming news: the misunderstandings had been cleared up and my friendship was not only saved, but made even stronger!
friend, choose to believe God today, and your day can end in wonder too!
You are a miracle!
