Daily Devotions

Are you facing a mountain you just can’t seem to overcome? God will make a way!
When you face a mountain in your life, and we all do, you have a choice: be overwhelmed or be energized because you know the Savior will reveal Himself in a profound way to you.
The prophet Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 40:4-5, “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
Of course, your first thought may be, “If I were really in God’s will, I wouldn’t be facing obstacles – especially ones this enormous.” But that’s not so. You have an enemy who will oppose you whenever he sees the Lord doing anything great through you. You can be in the center of God’s plan, doing exactly as He says, and still encounter a mountain of opposition.
But don’t focus on the mountain. Look at Almighty God who loves and provides for you. He can handle the troubles before you with ease (Matthew 21:21). And if you respond correctly, with faith, your relationship with Him will grow stronger and He will be glorified.
So don’t give up! Look to God and trust Him completely. You’ll be amazed at how He levels the mountains before you.
Prayer: “Lord, thank You for taking care of the mountain before me: it’s nothing to You. I praise You, my Savior! Amen.”
Faith focuses on the power of God, not on the size of the obstacles.
