What do zechariah and matthew have in common?

​In the beautiful land of Israel, you could see Mt. Hermon from miles away, standing at 9000 ft elevation.  Jerusalem is at the top of a mountain.  In God's word, mountains are often associated with problems.  When the disciples were trying to cast the demons, they were not successful.  When they asked Jesus why, He said this: "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20 (ESV) These are powerful words of Jesus.  He invites us to believe the impossible, to ask and to seek.  He encourages us to have faith.  He doesn't ask us to have faith in our resources, skills, or plans.  Paul encouraged the Corinthians to not put their trust in the wisdom of men, but the power of God (1 Cor 2:5). In the Old Testament, the prophet Zechariah made this prophecy to Zerubbabel: Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. What do Zechariah and Matthew have in common? They both believed God could do the impossible.  
As you think about your day, your family and your life.  Remember that God is a God of the impossible. The word to Zerubbabel can be brought forward to the present-day believer.  Take your impossibilities to Jesus and discover that it's: “Not By Might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts.” Praise God!
