Abiding in the Vine
Growing in Faith
Scripture
“If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove.”
— Matthew 17:20 (KJV)
Reflection
Faith is not the absence of doubt; it is the willingness to keep trusting God in the presence of doubt. Matthew 17:20 comforts us: "If ye have faith as a grain…" Honest faith brings its questions to the Lord and waits. He is not threatened by your wrestling. He is gentle with sincere hearts. Today, bring your doubts to Him and ask Him to deepen your faith. He will.
Prayer
Lord, increase my faith. Help me to trust You in the small things and the great. Amen.
