'Even a Little Faith Is Very Powerful' - Luke 17:5-6

The apostles said to the Lord, "Show us how to increase our faith."
The Lord answered, "If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you!"


—Luke 17:5-6 NLT

Key Thought​

At first glance, Jesus appears to be making an incredible promise. On a closer look, however, this is a reprimand. Even a little faith is powerful. The apostles would have so much more impact on their world if they could muster even a little faith. Sadly, much doesn't get done to bless others and to honor God because we don't have enough faith. Let's be people of faith!

Today's Prayer​

LORD God Almighty, challenge me, stir me, move me, motivate me to live by faith, not by sight. In Jesus' name. Amen.
