Wild mustard seeds is highly evasive and spread rapidly along the ground. It can grow almost anywhere are difficult to kill and sometimes sprouting again after being cut down.
Jesus spoke in Matthew 17:20 saying, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, to move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
I was thinking last night that some churches teach “if you have faith of a mustard seed, your faith will grow.” But that’s as far as they go. Some say that “if you just believe hard enough, you will get what you want.” But, Jesus encouraged His followers that their faith does not need to be large to be powerful because God can work miracles through even the smallest amount of trust.
But I believe that to move mountains we need to engage in conversations, When we have faith as a mustard seed it has to empower us to overcome life’s challenges and grow spiritually. It’s not about our ability to move mountains in our human strength, but about God’s power working through us who have faith. It’s about letting people see our faith, but that involves risk. Sometimes our most faithful moments is when we act despite uncertainty.
It requires action and belief. True faith is not just believing, but acting on that belief and trusting that God will help us through our challenges.
Faith requires consistent effort. Building faith and overcoming obstacles is a process that requires time, effort, and persistence, with God’s help along the way.
