“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain ‘move from here,’ and it will move.” Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
Did you ever bite into a warm poppy seed bagel covered with cream cheese? Delicious. If you are like me, a few poppy seeds always get stuck in your teeth. Think about how small a poppy seed is. That is the size of a mustard seed.
Now imagine Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in the US. It stands 20,310 feet above sea level. Imagine faith the size of a poppy seed moving Mount McKinley. What a ridiculous thought!
Yet, this is exactly what Jesus said in Matthew 17:20.
Do your problems seem as big as mountains?
Do your doubts seem large and your faith seem small?
Do you feel like you must wait until your faith is stronger before you start praying?
It is never too soon to pray. Do not wait until your faith is stronger. Remember the tiny little poppy seed. God hears prayers even when our faith is small. So, start praying! Then, watch the mountains start to move.
