DAILY READINGS: Joshua 9:1-27; Isaiah 6:1-13; Luke 23:13-46
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23
Mountains are barriers to progress and must be seen here metaphorically as obstacles to the will of God. Whenever we try to make forward progress with the gospel, all sorts of barriers seem to hinder. The only way to remove them is through believing prayer. So our daily challenge is to seriously pray for God’s work to prosper. —Paul Young
Peter, though confined and chained, prayer prevailed and brought him out;
When Elijah prayed, it rained, after three long years of drought. —Newton
