27 May 2010 Moving Mountains
I have just been reading about the work of an artist called Francis Alys
who seems to create scenarios mixing actions and social comment. The
reason it caught my attention was that for one piece he had equipped
more than 500 people with shovels in order to move a massive sand dune
four inches. The work was called "When faith moves mountains"
Jesus spoke of faith moving mountains, not I'm sure in the literal sense of this artist, but the idea that if we really put our faith in God, if we really trust him then he will do the impossible, and whatever mountains and obstacles there may be, will be overcome.It may be in the small and everyday, or life changing events, but the key is trust, and it will not require 500 shovels.
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17 vs 20
