What do I know about mustard seeds?
I was introduced to faith; this immaterial thing. Then I learned that if the amount of my faith was equal to the size of a mustard seed that I could do amazing things!
But what do I know about mustard seeds?
Nothing.
I know about French's Yellow Mustard and Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard.
I know that the lesson Jesus is teaching is a simple one. He says that it really does not take that much faith to do marvelous and wondrous things.
For years this plagued me. I heard whispers in my ear, "You cannot have faith the size of a mustard seed. It is impossible. You cannot quantify faith. Even if you could, it would not reach the size of a mustard seed. You are doomed."
I don't know if anybody else has ever felt that way, but it bothered me, literally, for years. I really felt impressed to share this today. I even had a dream about it---the last dream before I woke up this morning. I never thought I could have enough faith.
This is simply untrue. It is a lie from the enemy. No revolution that is worth its salt is immune to hostile jamming. We are in a war; and it is easy to forget that. Our enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy.
He wants you to think your faith can never be enough.
Here's the good news.
It does not matter the size of your faith. What matters is the size of your object of faith.
That's what Jesus was talking about. The mustard seed, those in Israel knew, was synonymous with something small. Your small faith is fine. Just make sure your faith is in the Almighty God.
Do not be discouraged today, oh you of little faith. Place your tiny faith in the immeasurable God; He has dealt to each of us a measure of faith. Your faith is enough because God is enough.
Your fellow revolutionary,
