Bible Verse
“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.'” Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
Meaning
The message Jesus puts across in Matthew 17:20 encompasses His powerful teachings on faith. The mustard seed, intriguingly the smallest of all known seeds, grows into an incredibly large tree. Similarly, Jesus invites us to understand, even the tiniest inkling of faith can lead to incredible outcomes.
Jesus doesn’t put emphasis on the quantity of faith, but on its quality. God’s power exhibits itself in full magnitude when we fully trust in Him, even with the faintest glow of faith. With faith, we can overcome huge obstacles, and nothing becomes too hard or impossible to achieve.
Actions to Take

- Embrace the Word of God. Soak your mind in the Scriptures to understand the depth and power of faith better.
- Take small steps of faith. Remember, even the mustard seed-sized faith can move mountains.
