Faith
‘If you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say this mulberry tree
“Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it will obey you.
(Matthew 17. 20)
I often feel like the father of the son with the evil spirit who said to Jesus I believe, help my unbelief’’.
It’s hard for a sinful person like me to have complete trust.
But in talking about the power of faith as small as a mustard seed,
Jesus teaches us a key lesson. Although we should have complete faith,
it is not the amount of faith but the person in whom we have our faith which matters.
Small faith in a great God is powerful. Complete faith in a lucky charm will achieve nothing at all.
Question for thought: How can I grow in faith?
Almighty God, our hearts are heavy as we see our sisters in South Sudan
struggle with the effects of persecution and tribal conflicts.
We long to see peace in this nation as they face extreme poverty in the midst these troubles.
We pray for the members of Mothers’ Union as they provide both immediate emergency relief
and long-term development programs to help bring back hope to families in this troubled country.
