Good morning, Friends,
Matthew 17:20 - "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.
When Jesus told the disciples they lacked faith, He wasn’t telling them to try harder or dig deeper into their own strength. In that moment, they failed because they were depending on themselves instead of depending on Christ Jesus, the One who has all power. And here’s the truth sitting right inside this verse, even the smallest faith is powerful only because Christ is the One who gives it, sustains it, and works through it. A mustard seed ain’t big at all, but when Christ is behind it, that tiny seed becomes unstoppable. Jesus isn’t calling you to be strong in yourself; He’s calling you to trust His strength, His authority, His Word, His power.
Check it out, have you ever been in a moment where you felt empty, drained, confused, or overwhelmed and all you could manage was a simple “Lord, help me”? Guess what? That little faith wasn’t something you produced. That was Christ Jesus holding you up, giving you the strength to pray, keeping you from quitting, and empowering you to stand. You didn’t move the mountain, Christ did. He’s the mountain-mover, the chain-breaker, the burden-lifter.
So, let's stop measuring faith by how we feel. Start measuring it by the One your faith is in , Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, the Savior who never fails. The disciples learned that faith that has no power, is faith that trusts in itself, but powerful faith is faith that leans completely on Christ.
Even if your faith feels small today, if Christ Jesus planted it in you, it’s enough. He grows it. He strengthens it. He uses it. Mountains don't move because you’re great, but because Christ is the Mighty One.
