Time Well SpentSample

A mustard seed is incredibly small, only one to two millimeters in diameter. However, in this verse, Jesus is not making a statement about the size of faith or comparing one person’s big faith to another’s small faith. He’s talking about the power of faith when we trust Him. Trust goes a long way. It moves mountains in our lives, whether those mountains are relational, spiritual, or deeply personal. Trust changes our perspective on life. But if trusting Jesus with all things moves mountains, why is it so hard? Because we don’t want to open our hands and give up what we think we can control. Trusting anyone with things of importance can make us feel like we are giving up. Nothing could be further from the truth. When we trust Jesus, we trust someone who wants what is best for us. As we spend intentional time with Him, the tiny seeds of our faith begin to grow. 

Is there something you’re having trouble trusting God with or about? Spend a few minutes praying or journaling about why you feel this way and ask God to show you His faithfulness in your life.
