He Can Move the Mountains...

I would love to have time to write an inspirational piece, but since most of my writing has been going into my objective memo that is due at the end of the week, I will be brief. Here is what has been on my mind as of late as a result of many conversations, devotionals, and sermons. The Lord has surely been trying to teach me something...I am convinced that repetition is no coincidence...

Matthew 17:20 says, "I tell you the truth, 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." The Lord wants to do immeasurably all than we can ask or imagine in our lives. (See Ephesians 3:20). As I sit here and write, I am at the ski lodge overlooking the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. (see above pictures). As I look at the mountains, Matthew 17:20 is put in a different light. These mountains are enormous. The idea that God could move them blows my mind. We serve a mighty God. If God can move these ginormous mountains, how much more able is He to move the "mountains" in our own lives? As I sit here and watch the sunset, I pray that the Lord allows each of you to shed your fears and allow Him to move the "mountains" in your life. It is only when we place our fear in the Lord that He can do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine....

Law school has probably been one of the most difficult "adventures" I have embarked on. It is certainly not a journey I could do without the Lord's strength. Each day as I walk into school and pass the mountains, Psalm 121 comes to mind: "I life my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from: My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth." He has been my Help and I know He will continue to do so (He has also provided an amazing support group to get me through)! The Lord is not only capable of moving mountains, but He never fails to prove Himself faithful....

Until next time, be blessed.....
