Song # 772.2 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Matthew we read in chapter 17 about having faith as small as a mustard seed.
When Jesus and His disciples came to a crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before Him (Matthew 17:14). “Lord, have mercy on my son” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water” (Matthew 17:15). “I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him” (Matthew 17:16). “Oh unbelieving and perverse generation” Jesus said “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me” (Matthew 17:17). Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment (Matthew 17:18). Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” (Matthew 17:19). Jesus replied “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).
Thought for today: pray to God, and if it is His will, you will receive.
Thought for the future: God’s love won’t keep us from trials, but it will help us to get through them. Where will you spend your eternity?
