🌾MOUNTAIN MOVING MONDAY🌾
Breaking Bread at the Mustard Seed with Stacey
🍞Just a Little Daily Bread…🍞
🤍Plow Anyway🤍
Matthew 17:20 ~
“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
There’s something about a farmer that’ll preach if you pay attention.
A farmer can stand at the edge of a field that hasn’t produced one single thing yet…
and still hitch up the plow.
No sprouts…
No harvest…
No evidence…
Just dirt.
And faith.
Because farmers understand something we sometimes forget…
You don’t wait until you see the harvest to work the field.
You work the field because you believe the harvest is coming! 🙌🏼
And maybe that’s exactly where somebody is this Monday.
You’ve been praying about a mountain that hasn’t moved.
You’ve asked God…
Believed God…
Waited on God…
And that thing is still standing there looking just as big as it did yesterday.
But Jesus never said mustard-seed faith means you’ll never face mountains.
He said mustard-seed faith can MOVE them! 🙌🏼
So what do you do while the mountain is still there?
You plow anyway…
You pray anyway…
You worship anyway…
You forgive anyway…
You prepare anyway…
You take the next step anyway…
You keep sowing into the thing God told you to believe for… even when all you can see is freshly turned dirt.
Because faith doesn’t require evidence before obedience.
Faith puts the plow in the ground while the mountain is still in view.
And here’s what I love…
That farmer doesn’t have to move the mountain with his own two hands! 🙌🏼
Neither do you! 🙌🏼
God never asked you to figure out how He was going to do the impossible.
He asked you to believe Him in the middle of it!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Maybe your mountain has a name today.
Financial…
Family…
Fear…
A dream that seems impossible…
A door that hasn’t opened…
A prayer you’ve prayed so many times you’re getting tired of hearing yourself pray it…
Don’t confuse “it hasn’t moved yet” with “God isn’t moving.”
Keep your hand on the plow.
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Keep that little mustard seed of faith planted.
And when doubt whispers,
“Look how big that mountain is…”
Answer back…
“Yeah… but look how big my God is!” 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Jesus, when the mountain in front of me looks bigger than the faith inside me, remind me that the power isn’t in the size of my faith… it’s in the One my faith is in.
Give me courage to keep plowing when I can’t see the harvest yet. Keep me faithful in the waiting, obedient in the uncertainty, and expectant when circumstances tell me nothing is changing.
Today, I put my hand back on the plow.
I will pray anyway…
I will believe anyway…
I will prepare anyway…
I will plow anyway…
In Jesus’ name, Amen! 🤍
💚Reflection💚
What mountain have you been staring at so long that you’ve stopped tending the field God placed in front of you?

Before there can be bread on the table, somebody has to believe enough in the harvest to plant wheat in an empty field.
Don’t despise the dirt season.
Today’s faithful plowing may be preparing tomorrow’s bread.
💛Closing💛
The mountain may still be standing this morning.
But so is your God! 🙌🏼
Put your boots on.
Grab the plow.
Plant the mustard seed.
And walk into this Monday believing that mountains still move! 🙌🏼

Many of us face 'mountains' in life that seem immovable—whether they are financial struggles, relational challenges, personal fears, or long-held prayers that haven't yet been answered. From my own experience, the most powerful thing to remember is that faith is not about seeing immediate results; it's about the commitment to keep working the soil of your life despite uncertainty. Like a farmer who must plow the field before anything grows, we too must take action grounded in trust. This means continuing to pray, prepare, forgive, and sow goodness even when the harvest feels distant. I’ve found that maintaining a daily practice of gratitude and small, faithful steps makes it easier to keep trusting God’s timing. Sometimes, that means setting aside our impatience and embracing the 'dirt season'—the quiet, unseen work happening beneath the surface. The scripture Matthew 17:20 reminds me that even faith as small as a mustard seed holds immense power. It’s not the size of our faith but the greatness of the One we believe in that moves mountains. When doubts creep in about the mountain’s size, remind yourself how much bigger God is. Holding on to this truth can transform frustration into hope. In practical terms, this might mean reaching out for support, finding joy in small victories, or simply putting on your 'boots' and continuing the work you know God has called you to do. Over time, that perseverance creates space for breakthroughs and spiritual growth. Remember, you’re not alone in facing the mountain—God’s presence and power work alongside your acts of faith. So, whether your mountain today is fear, an unanswered prayer, financial hardship, or a closed door, keep your hand on the plow. Keep cultivating faith with the confidence that the harvest will come. Your faithful plowing today is preparing the bread for tomorrow's table, nourishing not only your spirit but also those around you.
