Little faith

¹⁴ When they came to the crowd, a man met Jesus. He knelt before him, ¹⁵ saying, “Lord, show mercy to my son. He is epileptic and suffers terribly, for he often falls into the fire or the water. ¹⁶ I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him.” ¹⁷ Jesus answered, “You faithless and crooked generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” ¹⁸ Then Jesus spoke harshly to the demon. And it came out of the child, who was healed from that time on. ¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and said, “Why couldn’t we throw the demon out?” ²⁰ “Because you have little faith,” he said. “I assure you that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Go from here to there,’ and it will go. There will be nothing that you can’t do.” (Matthew 17:14-21, CEB)

If you had the faith the size of a mustard seed you could move a mountain.

Who wants to move a mountain? I actually am fine not moving a mountain. And we always seem to read this passage as saying they didn’t have enough faith. But they have enough to do a lot of things.

Faith the size of a mustard is a little faith, and even less is still enough.

Use the faith you have to do what God is leading you to do.

Love People. Love God.
