Seed Faith. When you plant a seed, God changes the nature of that seed so that it becomes a plant; and the power of life surges in that tender young plant to such a great extent that even a mountain of earth can not stop it from pushing upward!
Jesus says our faith in God is like a seed. When we put our faith into action, that is, when we release it to God, it takes on a totally new nature. It takes on the nature of a miracle in the making.
What is the mountain in your life? Loneliness, loss of job, disease, a wounded relationship, trouble in your home? Something else? Be encouraged! Jesus shows the way to see that mountain removed?
First, God says that you have a measure of faith.
“For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3)
It is resident with you. Second, God says that this faith comes alive by hearing the word of God.
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
Third, God says that you can apply your faith to see your daily needs met. How? You do something as an act of your faith. You sow the mustard-seed smallness of your faith into an action of love.
“…for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20)
Then when your seed faith has been planted and is growing, speak to your mountain and watch God set about its removal.
