"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed..." Luke 17:6
Jesus used the mustard seed, one of the tiniest seeds in the Middle East, to illustrate the faith principle to His apostles. He wanted them to know that even a small amount of faith was capable of unleashing the unlimited power of God. It's not the quantity of faith, but believing in God's power - or to put it another way, little is much when God is in it!
A mustard seed parable was used again in Matthew 13: 31-32: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
Some time ago I wrote in the flyleaf of my Bible: "Faith is not believing that God can, it's knowing that He will!" That's the kind of faith I want to possess.
May God bless your week!
