"There's Always Something"

There isn't a day that goes by when we don't hear of someone's ills, the death of an acquaintance, some catastrophe somewhere or face a mountain of tasks in our own lives that seems insurmountable, and we hear others say, or we say, "There's always something." Yes, our days, our world, are filled with mountain size challenges as  part of the human condition. We can let them overwhelm us to the point of discouragement and even depression, or we can see them as godly opportunities to hone our faith and turn our reliance more on God than on ourselves. Jesus reminds us, "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says." (Mk 11:23)
The heartwarming film of a few years ago, LITTLE BOY. delightfully illustrates this.  We need not lose heart as we stand before the "mountain" but pray for a deeper faith, and trust that God hears that prayer.  He always does and these "mountains" mysteriously slip into the sea.
