4/30/2011 - LJ "How full is your cup of faith?"

Scripture:
Matthews: 17: 20 "And He said to them, 'Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.'"

Observation:
So many non believe came to Jesus for healing. Many of his disciples were unable to do so. The greatest disciples John was killed for his faithfulness to Jesus. But God will reward those who believe in abundance. The power of having faith is great and determines how great you are and in your walk with God. Jesus has faith in his Father and even to the cross he praised his Father.
Application:
If I was chosen and save by sacrifice of God's only son, my faith is so small compare to disciple John and Jesus himself. I have circumstance where my faith in God is the most critical part, yet I doubt sometimes if this is what the will of God is. Maybe that is why, it seems like the circumstance is never improving because my pea size faith I have in God.
Prayer:
Father, you put in this earth in this flesh with this mind and heart to do your will. Father help me to know and recognize the greatness of your faith. Father after all the blessing and love you have shown and shower me with, still lacks my faith in you. Faith is not measure by how much you have given but for the glory of joy of loving you should be the factor of my growth in faith. Father help me to put you as my priority and love you more then anything in this world for you have shower me with unconditional love no matter who I am what I have done. Father thank you for loving me and washing my sins through sacrifice of your son in the cross. Father God you are so big and amazing, that it is hard to contain you in a small box that I can carry as daily reminder, but your presence around me every second, Father open my heart to your words and your will, let me actions speak louder than words of my willingness to grow as your faithful servant. Father I thank you and I love you, in your name amen!
