All We Need Is A Little Faith. Sometimes when we are overwhelmed with so much to do we lose track of who is in control of our lives. We then need to refocus and remember that God is in control. He knows us very well and He’s always there to help us and comfort us. Besides our work and family obligations, sometimes we also have other issues going on like an illness in the family, a friend going through an ugly divorce, or a bad situation at work we don’t know how to handle. That’s when we need to exercise our faith for God to help us.
Today I will share with you one of the Devotionals that talks about faith and how God only asks us to have just a little faith—that would be sufficient to get us through whatever situation we may be going through at the time. Enjoy!
All We Need Is a Little Faith
152
Matthew 17:20 (NLT)
“I assure you, even if you had faith 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.”
From the day we become Christian until the day we die, we are to walk by faith. That is the life of a Christian. Jesus tells us that if we had as little as a mustard-seed-size faith, we could do anything. That is because we are not the ones doing the miracles, God is. All He wants us to have is faith in Him that He can and will perform what we ask Him to do for us.
We have to believe! But how do we increase our faith? By hearing the Word of God repeatedly until it sinks into our hearts. In addition to believing, we have to trust Him that He will perform His promises in our personal lives, and we should expect them to come to pass. His promises, among many, include peace, joy, rest, love, protection, and, of course, the ultimate promise of salvation. They are all free gifts to us.
Once we have a little faith, we must put it to work and exercise it with the authority that God has given us. We start with small things and, as we pass the small faith tests, we will become more confident and our faith will continue to grow.
If you are having issues at work, if you are praying for a promotion, for a special client, project, a new boss or employee, or whatever it is, have faith that God will give you what you’re asking for. Exercise your faith today.
