Matthew 17:20 NIV — “He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, 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.””

Mustard seeds: Small round seeds of various mustard plants. The seeds are usually about 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter and may be colored from yellowish-white to black. 

In reading today’s key verse and definition of mustard seeds, is it easier to receive and give grace? You might ask, what do mustard seeds and moving mountains have to do with grace and identity? Interwoven in our identities needs to be mustard seeds of faith so that we can have God going before us, around us, and through us. Often we think we are not worthy of the mountain moving. That’s where grace steps in.

Take a moment to look at Ray’s picture of the mountains. Notice all the valleys and peaks. Receiving and giving grace needs to happen in both our highs and lows. Where could you use mustard seeds in your life? When your faith doesn’t seem to measure up, are you turning to God for help? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, Thank You for millimeter faith. I ask You to go before me, around me, and through me. Help me to feel worthy of mountain moving through your perfect grace. May I share in Your glory through my highs and lows. In Jesus’s name I pray, Amen.
