A Daily Devotional About multiplying your faith… Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" 6 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. (NIV) Faith is an exercise of our heart and mind. Faith keeps all the pieces of our life from coming unglued. Faith can be multiplied like a seed put into the ground. However, the seed planted, in order to multiply after the seed germinates, must be tended, watered, fertilized, weeded, and nurtured. The love of God pouring down over us from His cross nourishes and multiplies our seed of faith. If we ever think we lack faith or we think our faith is weak, all we need to do is look at Christ suffering for us. Our faith grows stronger when we let ourselves be immersed in Christ's living water cleansing us of our sins. Our faith grows stronger when we take in Christ's nourishing manna of love. Our faith grows stronger when we uproot the evil influences of our life…uprooting those influences wanting to tempt us and take us down. Our faith grows stronger when we walk the Lord's path as we listen to the Shepherd's gentle voice to follow Him. Our faith grows stronger when we spend time listening to Christ telling us how much He loves us. When we do these things, our faith is multiplied in mysterious ways we cannot always understand or fathom. |
