Powerful Seed

Powerful Seed

I think faith is the small mustard seed of opportunities every day. For example, am I going to love this person? Am I going to share my faith with this person? Am I going to pray that little prayer? It really is a daily thing where you seize those little mustard seed opportunities and then see what God does.

Mark Batterson

You keep looking for big miracles and gigantic breakthroughs, but I want you to grab hold of mustard-seed faith. As you go through your day, believe that I will guide you to surprising opportunities to exercise your faith. Look for openings to speak out loud about your relationship with Jesus, or to pray with someone who is hurting, or to respond kindly to the person who is the most critical of you.

Your doubts about Me are the trigger points for your faith failures. They make you question My ability to work in your life and in the lives of those you love. Unbelief is a barrier between your prayer requests and your longed-for results. Mountain-moving faith doesn’t develop overnight, but as you pray and find Me faithful—every time—you’ll soon discover nothing is impossible for Me. Surround yourself with people of great faith, and you’ll discover they’ve learned that when their faith is stretched by a delayed answer to prayer, I always have a reason.

“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”

Matthew 17:20
