Luke 17: 6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you."
Faith as small as a mustard seed. A mustard seed which grows into a big tree.
My faith was as small as a mustard seed for the first half of my life. I wasn't an unbeliever, but I didn't get it. I knew there was a God, but I had trouble fitting Him into my life.
When I truly "got it," everything changed. I wanted God in my everyday life. He wasn't a cosmic policeman, trying to catch me doing things wrong. He became my comfort and strength. I rely on Him a lot, but I still do not lean on Him enough. The "busy-ness" of my life leaves little room for His guidance.
Prayer: Lord, grow my faith. Let me turn to you first, instead of waiting until I have tried it "my way." If I lean fully on you, my life will be better, and I will become the person I want to be.
Amen
