Mustard Seed Faith


Jesus says faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains (Matthew 17:20)

By Faith, Abraham packed up his family to go to the promise land.
Wherever that is.  
But he obeyed anyway.
By Faith, Noah  built an ark for when the rain brought the flood.
Whatever that is.
But he obeyed anyway.
By Faith, Isaac went to find a wife among his own people.
Whoever she is.
But he obeyed anyway.
By Faith, Moses lifted his staff above the Red Sea.
Whatever that would do.
But he obeyed anyway.
By Faith, Joshua marched his army around Jericho.
Whatever that would do.
But he obeyed anyway.
By Faith, Daniel still prayed three times a day against the king's decree.
Whatever happened.
But he obeyed anyway.

We never know where Faith will lead us, but we do know by Faith that:
Jesus died, was buried, and rose again.
Jesus forgives our sins.
Jesus renews and transforms us.
Jesus dwells in us and empowers us to overcome the most difficult trials.
Jesus will never leave, forsake, or abandon us.
Jesus' love for us is everlasting.
Jesus will return for us someday.

Faith believes in what it can't see, and it  pleases the Lord.  What is your faith leading you to do today?  Even if you don't understand everything about it, obey anyway.
