Mountains into Molehills
by Joyce Meyer - posted March 10, 2013
For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it! —Zechariah 4:7
The Samaritans who came against the Israelites as they were building the temple of the Lord had become like a mountain of human obstacles, frustrating them and preventing them from doing what God had commanded them to do. That may be the situation in which you find yourself right now as you read these words. You may feel that the Lord has told you to do something but that the enemy has thrown up a mountain in your path to frustrate you and prevent you from carrying out the Lord's will. If so, I know just how you feel because that is exactly the way I used to feel. The problem is one of perspective. In this passage the Lord tells Zechariah that the problem facing the Israelites, although it may appear to be a mountain, is actually a molehill. How would you like for all your mountains to become molehills? They can, if you will do what God is saying here and look not at the problems but at the Lord and His power. If God has told you to do something, it is certainly His will not only that you begin it but also that you finish it.

I spent last night (all night) doing my own little research on our countries "real" condition and I looked at China, Saudi Arabia /Russsia and Iran along with a host of other matters,, It was a real learning night, I took notes as this is how I can retain,
I came up with the conclusion we are indeed in trouble, any way you look at it, (I tried looking for other ways) It probably is a matter of time when the petrodollar is extinct leaving the Americans quite vulnerable. However this vulnerability is already I place in Greece, (understatement ) and many other countries,
But as I do these things I will ,keep my focus on the eternal, the one way, the one truth. One day at a time, and this is how it should be :)
It would be stupid to not do the things I can to try to protect my family. Not as easy task and not fool proof.
It is something I have slacked off on I must start again, thank you for the reminder.
