When God Chooses Not To Move A Mountain: 5 Encouraging Bible Verses
(Please Scroll Further Down For Bible Verses)
Today, I am reminded that God can move mountains big and small! Yes… All things are possible with God, and All Power Belongs To God. Praise God!
Indeed, God moves mountains over and over again in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. God performs mighty miracles on our behalf. God heals us and restores us, and we rejoice and testify when this happens! We trust that God is able to do all things, and we will continue to trust in God’s mighty power, by His grace!
I am also reminded that sometimes, God may choose not to move a mountain. I was reminded of this as I read 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 this morning. Apostle Paul shares that he pleaded with God three times to take a certain unwanted hardship, challenge or ailment away from him. God’s response? “My Grace is sufficient for you.”
Here’s the Bible verse:
2 Corinthians 12:8-9, ESV Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
As we can see, God can choose not to move a mountain yet, or choose not to move it at all. For instance, God may choose to delay healing until an opportune time, or God may even choose not to heal a particular ailment while we are on earth. Each one of us has a unique relationship with God, and God deals with us individually.
I remember when Jesus’ disciples asked him questions concerning a blind man they encountered. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:2) They had assumed that this man had been born blind because of some kind of sin. “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. (John 9:3)
In every challenging situation we experience in life, may we always remember that God’s Grace Is Sufficient For Us. May we continually experience the peace that comes from knowing that God is on our side!
We continue to trust God to move mountains in all our lives. But no matter what, we remember that Nothing can separate us from the love of God – not trouble or hardship, not sickness or weakness, not famine or hunger, not persecution or mistreatment, not even death can separate us from the love of God. (Rom 8:31-39) Praise God!!!
It is well with us all in Jesus’ name. Our mouths will continue to testify of God’s goodness in the land of the living. May we continue glorifying God in all we do. May His perfect will be done in each of our lives, Amen. 🙏🏽😀🙏🏽
