Every feel like you have to move a mountain? Even the thought makes me shutter at times.
I get quotes from a dear lady in the church every day. Today’s hit me:
“The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” – William Faulkner
Don’t try to conquer the world in one day. Take it from me. You will be anxious, nervous, restless, tired, hospitalized and on medication. Been there, done that. And ONLY YOU can control this. But you see, the problem is that we are involved, and while only we can control those feelings, we are frail and in need of HIS STRENGTH and WISDOM every day. New Hope almost crashed because I was trying to move the mountain in a short time all by myself...by trying to foolishly move the mountain.
What small stones lie before you? Start by making a goal to remove 3-5 stones a day, and schedule YOUR life (only you control YOUR schedule) and you will feel a major sense of accomplishment. I spend more time planning my day/week/month sometimes more than anything else.
Physically, spiritually, in your marriage with your finances…wherever God has YOU right now. Move something!
A week, month, and year from now you will see much PROGRESS. It starts by putting one foot in front of the other. And the peace that will follow will refresh you in ways you have never imagined. Consistently moving small stones is what most people refuse to do. They only see the mountain and don’t want to start because the task seems so daunting.
Move…I dare you. One stone at a time. Consistently. It’s up to you.
“Jesus replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. 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.’” (Matthew 17:20-niv)
p.s.: Don’t miss this weekend @ the Hope as Perry Noble rocks the house with a Word from God that pumped me up beyond belief. And I will be leading worship @ the Loudonville Campus and Snoop Timmy Tim is back in WOO-TOWN.
Blessings and Peace.
