Scripture Reading: Matthew 17:20 (Living)
(The disciples were not able to cast out a demon from a boy and asked Jesus why) “Because of your little faith, Jesus told them,
For if you had faith even as small as a tiny mustard seed you could say to this mountain “move” and it would go far away. Nothing would be impossible!
On Day One I asked you to honestly evaluate your amount of faith. Our scripture told us that our value was in how much faith God had given us. In other words, God will give us as much faith as we are ready to take on. Even a mustard seed faith can be very powerful, according to Jesus. Jesus is trustworthy, so we can believe His words.
The seeds in you that started you growing and finally beginning your faith-journey were very small. Even smaller than mustard seed! When a mustard tree is grown it stands 10 to 12 feet tall!
Your faith grows when you water it with the Word of God and let the light of Jesus’ son-shine soak into your very roots. Finally, you must exercise that faith by following Jesus when He tells you what it is that He wants you to do.
What is it that Jesus wants you to do today for His glory?
Prayer
Father, thank you for helping my “seed- faith” to grow. It is gratifying to know that even Jesus’ disciples were lacking in faith, and that I only have to have a small amount in order to do great things. Obedience is the Key. Help my faith to grow, Oh Lord, and forgive me when I sin against You by not doing what You want me to do. Show me what it is that You want me to do today for Your glory and give me the faith and trust to do it in full obedience to You. In Jesus name, Amen
