A mustard seed is… 1 – 2 mm in diameter. Whompwhomp. What does that mean? It means it’s tiny. You know that @ button on your keyboard? A mustard seed roughly the size of the a in @. Crazy tiny right?
In the bible, Jesus says: “For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).
Which makes me think… I definitely can’t move mountains. Not only can I not move mountains, I have zero faith in believing that I can move mountains. So what does that say about me?
My faith is smaller than a mustard seed. And even with that tiny, tiny, little faith of mine, God uses my life to do things—to do big things that I probably don’t even know about. Now my friends, that is the manifestation of grace when our faith is weak. That is the grace that supplements our faith and fulfills the covenant to the utmost.
And to take it all one step further: It’s not faith in believing that I can do this. It’s faith in knowing that God is bigger than this. And really etching “all things are possible with God” (Mark 10:27) into our hearts. And having faith in that—in Him. Walking in faith in knowing that He has conquered all and nothing is beyond His reach.
