Matthew
17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth,
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for
you."
Mustard
seeds are tiny, which is why Jesus used them to illustrate faith. Even a little
can go a long way—like mustard on your plate.
My
mum once told me about her younger brother Andy, who was about four. One day,
my Grandad McLay came home from work and sat down to his dinner of boiled ham
with mustard. Young Andy, curious because he had never seen mustard before,
asked for some. When he was refused, he cried and carried on.
Eventually
my grandfather gave in and handed Andy a teaspoonful. Delighted, Andy swallowed
it quickly—then immediately cried out for water. As a child, he never asked for
mustard again.
A
little goes a long way. Faith matters not only for us, but also for those we
love and meet. Sometimes our faith helps others through hard times and brings
change. Wherever we are today, let’s use even a little faith to make things
better, especially for people around us.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Your words inspire us to use our
faith in different ways. You ask us to help other people; You also need us to
tell others about Your Kingdom. Enable us this day to do all that we can to
make the world a better place, even with just a little faith. In Your Holy
Name, we pray. Amen.
God
bless you all.
