Do you see a mountain or a mole hill?

Today's blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

You’ve probably heard the expression before – “Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.”

When you look at the challenges in your life, do you see them as impossible to overcome?  Do they look so big, you want to throw up your arms and say “I quit?” Maybe you’ve tried to climb the mountain in front of you many times before only to be met with repeated failure.

Well, God wants to adjust your view today.

Hebrews 4:16 says “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

God’s grace is able to cut any mountain down to the size of a molehill.  When we draw from His grace, our mountains shrink in size and our trust and reliance on Him grows. However, when we look through our natural eyes and focus on the issue, it becomes a mountain.

Are you going through a difficult time?  God is inviting you to come today, and to come with confidence!  You have unrestricted access to the throne room of God and all the grace you will ever need to overcome any challenge is yours for the taking.  You are His child and the King’s scepter is always extended to you.  He is waiting for you to draw from His grace.

It is not my intent to make light of the difficulty you are facing.  My goal is just to get you to look at it through God’s eyes.  When you do, the actual challenge may remain unchanged, but your view of it will not.  You will see a molehill, instead of a mountain.

The bible declares “you are more than a conqueror through Him who loved you” (Romans 8:37).  Let God adjust your view, so instead of seeing a mountain that is daunting and insurmountable, you see a molehill that can’t hold you back from becoming all that God wants you to be.
