A Faith the Size of a Mustard Seed
Written by Warren |Posted on November 12, 2008 | Comments
This afternoon was the first time in my life to do rounds to distribute fliers around the neighborhood. The invitation reached about 30 or more houses and several folks we met along the road. As Hazel and I were distributing the invitations, I can see in their faces of disturbance. “Not another cult member…” or something like that.
As much as I’m trying to not look like a Jehovah’s Witness or Mormon, people still show this face of disturbance. Like 97% didn’t show any face of excitement or curiosity. They’re more of like “ok get lost now I need to throw this flier as soon as you leave my ground.”
I then feared. Stress filled up my body like filling gas in a baloon. Worries roaming around my head like flies.
“What are the type of people that are coming into our home?”
“Will they be interested in knowing Jesus?”
“Will they come to create a riot?”
I don’t know.
Where did my faith go? I’ve seen in the Scriptures how God fulfilled His promises. That He cannot lie. Where did my strength go? Though I knew well the verse that says “Never will I leave you nor forsake you” and “if God is for us, who then can be against us?” Why then am I still feeling stressed out? Even after knowing these scriptures? Sometimes I would even teach them to others.
Tonight I did confessed to my wife that I had sinned in doubting God’s Words. In doubting the power of God unto men. There are times that I would think that God is smaller than man. That the majority of man can overrule the power of God. Even after I read the Scriptures earlier to get strength. Non of them registered in my mind. But we know that this doubting is sin. I pray that God may make my conscience clear so I can understand the Word of God. The only encouragement I can capably get for tonight from Scripture is this:
“if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
