“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
Isn’t that just the way God works?!
In God’s economy, He takes what’s small and makes a huge impact. He takes what the world views as weak or insignificant and makes it strong. He takes our faith and moves mountains.
Have you looked at a mustard seed before?
They are tiny! Approximately a millimeter to maybe two millimeters in diameter. A mustard seed is literally next to nothing. And yet faith so small in the power of a mighty and powerful God, can move things that we couldn’t possibly think about doing on our own.
This makes me think of the boy who offered up the lunch he had to Jesus, which in turn Jesus used to feed 5,000+ people. (reference Mark 6: 30-44) He multiplies our little to make much of it.
We may feel that what we have is little but placing what we have in God’s hands does extraordinary things. It all starts with just a little bit of faith.
So what is it in front of you that seems too big to move? What is it that you’ve talked yourself out of pursuing because you don’t think you’re good enough? That you don’t have the right qualifications. What dream have you given up on because of the laundry list of reasons you’ve come up with?
I want to encourage you today, to remember that God’s never looking for you to do impossible things all by yourself. Only He can make the impossible possible. And it all starts with just a little bit of faith. After all, we may have small faith, but we have a Big God.
