Luke 17:1-19
“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you” (Luke 17:6).
It is important to remember that it is not the size of our faith that uproots trees. It is the one we put our faith in. In John Piper’s words, “The smallest faith that truly connects us with Christ will engage enough of his power for all you need.”
The object of our faith is Jesus, the one who is omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (present everywhere) and omniscient (all knowing). Faith is knowing WHO holds us in the palm of His hands, and trusting Him completely with today and tomorrow.
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1 NIV).
