Do you believe that I am able to do this?

VERSES:
Mat 21:21 And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a [14] firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done.

Mat 9:28 When He reached the house and went in, the blind men came to Him, and Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.



When I first got the news that I was moving to Mumbai(Bombay), I was filled with excitement as well as uncertainity. I wasn't sure of many things especially how I would arrange my accomodation. For those who know Mumbai, it happens to be one of the most costliest cities to live in India and finding accomodation can be a nightmare.

After staying at a hotel for nearly four days we decided, we needed to shift into a new flat. We had only one evening to find a place to stay. We started at 4pm and had not found a place to stay even after looking for one for 4 hours. We were taken to some places that we couldn't even call a place to stay. It was getting frustrating when God reminded me of those two verses I mentioned above. Our mountain was getting a place to stay and God was asking me whether I was ready to believe that He is able to do this? It was that simple. I knew God was in control. All I needed to do was to believe like the blind men.

As we were almost giving up, one of my colleagues got a tip from his friend that a place may be available in Andheri that was quite close to one of our offices. We decided to pay a visit to the place though it was getting late. By 9:30pm, we finally reached the place. We were impressed because it had all the amenities that we required. All that it required was FAITH that HE will do it.

THOUGHT: Many times in our life when uncertainty strikes us, God asks this one simple question, Do you believe that I am able to do this? What will be your answer?
