All You Need Is A Seed!

He 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." Matthew 17:20

When you're battling a mountain of sickness, debt, loneliness or depression, it's easy to harbor self-defeating expectations about how things will turn out based on your past experiences. Also, because we live in a '...faithless and perverse generation...' (v.17), it means constantly fighting the defeatist attitudes of our culture, media, the educational system, the workplace, and even our friends. Unless you recognize this it can wear you down by diluting and polluting your faith. That's why you need to feed your faith daily on God's Word. Notice, Jesus isn't referring here to a mountain you encountered years ago, or some future issue. No. He said, '...say to this mountain...' He wants you to exercise your faith today! Listen again: '...if you have faith as a mustard seed...nothing will be impossible...' A mustard seed's so miniscule it can get stuck between your teeth! Yet the Bible says that although it's '...the least of all the seeds...' under the right conditions it can grow into a tree big enough for the birds to nest in (Matthew 13:32). God-given faith is like a sleeping giant within each of us. When it awakens, miracles happen. If you've one atom of faith left, you have what you need to prevail. But this kind of faith only works when it becomes the language you speak and the attitude you maintain. The enemy doesn't want you to know that, because when you do, you won't just think about what's happening, you'll think about what's possible!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me use that one seed you have given me to allow you to grow something strong and mighty. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
