Not just any old mountain...

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” He said to them, “Because of your little faith. 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 17:19-20 ESV) Some of the disciples had failed at faith... again. As Jesus challenged them, He also promised them about the rewards of faith - mountain-moving faith. But it's not just any old mountains. There behind Him as He spoke, he pointed them to Mt. Hermon, one of the great mountains physically and in spiritual history. It was there big as life. The mountains God promises to move are not those pie-in-the-sky, halfway-across-the-world mountains; they are the ones right in front of us now. Those are the ones we need to pray about and entrust to Him today, and see Him work. We cannot move those mountains; He can.
