How about the calendar today?
If you have faith as small
as a mustard seed NOTHING
will be impossible for you.
Matthew 17:20-21
My Bible:
Because you have so little faith,
I tell you the truth, if you have faith
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
So.....just a little bit of faith.....a tiny bit....can move mountains? Just a little bit of God is FAR better than no God at all! Hmmm, that's comforting to me at this point in my life. I DO, most definitely, have faith. I'm not sure what the measure of it is but it is at LEAST a little bit. At least as much as a mustard seed! If I can move a mountain from here to there with faith as small as a mustard seed just imagine what I might be able to do with a whole lot of faith!
I made a decision yesterday (after God gave me the answer) and I have to say, it was based on a lot of faith. Maybe even bigger than a mustard seed! I decided to delay accepting a family into my daycare until late summer because of their schedule and what it would do to the quality time I had planned to spend with my children and grandchildren this summer. By choosing to do this I was taking the chance of losing this family altogether but I had to have faith that God would work this out for me. I have struggled with this decision for about two months. The income would be nice and MUCH needed but the time.....time.......I struggled, wrestled and prayed.......finally God answered and honestly until Monday night I did not know what I would do. God clearly spoke to me and said "delay their start time until late summer". He was right! I really want this family, even though their hours are still not ideal (so few things in life are really ideal). God assured me that he would take care of me financially during the summer so I accepted His decision and notified the family. They are elated to have the spaces for their two little ones and have no problem with the minor adjustment in the start date. Phew.....I am so relieved to have the answers I needed. But it was in God's timing NOT mine! Faith.....yes, I have some but I realize the need to build my faith and I'm working on it every day! My prayer for each of you that read this is that you would build a little faith today!
Have a GOD day!
XOXO
