Matthew – 17:20 NIV
"Truly I tell you, 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".
Today I just finished my walk and wow the past two days have been really hard. I am using new shoes I won in a contest a few years back. They are not broken in yet. My feet are killing me and it’s not the shoes, it’s all this weight I am lugging around.
I was about 2,000 steps into my normal 6,000 step walk and I honest thought about turning around. It really did seem impossible today. The first days and steps are the absolute hardest.
I stopped and actually prayed to God that he would get me through this walk. I thanked HIM for the ability and blessing that I am able to make this walk as well. It’s been a long time since I can recall it being this challenging. Usually I just make up my mind and boom I power through it.
One of the things Jesus changed in my life immediately was I can’t listen to music anymore. I know many will think this is absurd but it’s the absolute truth. Specifically, the type of music that I used to listen to. When I hear music now I hear the enemy whispering in my ear. I used to enjoy songs that actually gave glory to the enemy with out really knowing. I reason I didn’t know is simple: I didn’t believe in a Devil.
Last year shortly after I was saved I was taking walks listening to the bible until I just stopped walking.
I have found Christian music to be an acquired taste. I am beginning to find replacement music that is faith based that I find motivational enough to get me going. So many of these songs I find myself crying when listening to.
Today I give HIM all the glory and thank HIM for helping me move a mountain today!
