Luke 17:5-6 NIV — The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”
Some words that come to mind when referring to spiritual obedience are stillness, prayer, listening, submission, humility, faith, and action. Today, we will discuss faith. Until recently I had never compared Luke and Matthew’s account of the mustard seed. In Luke, the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith, while in Matthew the amount of their faith.
Matthew 17:20 NIV — Jesus 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.””
It is encouraging that nothing is impossible with God and that we only need tiny faith to see God move. I encourage you to listen to, Faith of a Mustard Seed with WorshipMob by Colton and Claudia May.
What words, scriptures, or songs come to mind when you think of obedience and faith? Take time today to meditate on those things.
Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for the faith of a mustard seed. I summit to Your will today and seek to walk in obedience. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

A song that immediately comes to my mind when “faith” is mentioned is “Living By Faith”. It is one that we sang often over the years at my church, and is a favorite of mine and was a favorite of my late husband’s. The chorus “Faith in God Can Move a Mighty Mountain” also comes to my mind, and I’m singing it even as I type this comment.
