Have you ever seen a mustard seed before. They are tiny. Not much bigger than the size of a pin head. And yet we are told in the bible if we muster the faith of a mustard seed we can do anything.
Matt. 17:20
20He replied, "Because you have so little faith. 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."
I think considering the size of a mustard seed, finding this faith should be relatively easy, and yet it seems to be one of the hardest things to find at times. At least for me that is. I think that God knew that faith might be an issue for us. If He would have told me that I needed the faith of a Rocky Mountain....I would know that it would never be an attainable thing for me. But he told us that we needed only the faith of a tiny, itty, bitty mustard seed.
I am presently being challenge in the faith department. Not the first time for me and I am confident that it will not be the last. In the past, I have seen the impossible come true after having to exercise my faith muscles. God is truly amazing and has shown me how faithful He is to me so many times. With that said, you would think because I have seen the benifits of having faith in Him, it wouldn't be so difficult for me again...but it is. Why is this I ask? I am not really sure, but I do know that with practice it will become easier. I also know that my God wants me to become proficient in the faith department and He will give me plenty of oppurtunities to get practice. Maybe someday I will have enough faith to compare to the size of a mustard seed.
