"Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the world." -- Archimedes
With some force, a lever and a fulcrum can help you move mountains. But Jesus, in Matthew 17:20, said it this way,
"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.”
Faith stands. It is a firm foundation.
Faith expands. It branches out beyond its base.
Faith demands. It is a force with which to be reckoned.
As Archimedes observed, a place to stand can move the world with respect to math and materials, but this principle embedded in the natural world only highlights the spiritual reality that a firm foundation provides the perfect place to move the world around you.
A hard place allows you to anchor down. It provides resistance enough to propel yourself upward. It makes it possible to employ your force for greater achievement. By use of a lever and fulcrum, force is magnified and what was impossible is accomplished. So by God's grace, our firm foundation laid in the blood of Jesus provides a base from which we can move the earth.
