PARABLES OF JESUS – Increased Faith
Luke 17:5-6
"And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.' So the Lord said, 'If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, "Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea," and it would obey you.' "
Many times I look at people who have faith to work miracles and wish I had that kind of faith – faith to move mountains (Matthew 21:21), faith to see people healed and delivered from the power of sin. I know one of the supernatural gifts of the Spirit is faith (I Corinthians 12:9) and He gives that gift as He pleases. But still, I am like the man who came to Jesus for the deliverance of his demon-possessed child, and said, "If You can do anything, help us!" To which Jesus replied, "If you can believe, all things are possible." And the man cried out with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:17-24). Lord Jesus, I believe that with You all things are possible. Increase my faith!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Faith can increase and grow, but the mustard seed of faith is believing that with God, all things are possible.
Have an "increasing faith" day. Love you.
