Devotional Thought - Little Faith

Litte Faith

Bible Reading: Matthew 16: 1 - 12

Bible Text: “…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” - Matthew 17:20

Often our Lord would speak to his followers using the phrase “O ye of little faith”. It is remarkable that Christ Jesus would acknowledge any faith at all in any of his followers.

Repeatedly they would fail when it came to any test of faith. They, unfortunately, carried many of the same traits that we followers of Christ have in this modern day. That is, little faith.

The good news is that Christ, in His loving kindness, noticed the miniscule speck of faith that His followers displayed. They were following Him. They had abandoned all to be with Him. The overriding good news is that they did not need a huge amount of faith.

The amount of faith that any follower of Christ must have to see God work the miraculous is so tiny that it is hardly noticeable. Christ told them if their faith was as small as a mustard seed, one of the smallest of seeds, then God would work.

Are you exercising the little faith that you have?

Fear ends where faith begins.
