God has to use repetition with me, I’ve discovered. He’ll open up a piece of Himself to me, just a small portion of His wisdom, and just to make sure I’m understanding He brings it back to me over and over and everywhere. I usually take note of this when I begin a sentence with “I know I said this the last time, but it still applies…” Let’s just say I get a little fixated.
The truth nugget I’ve been stuck on lately is this: God asks us to take small steps of faith so that our eyes will be open to the big work He’s doing. He’s doing the big work, and will do it whether we’re watching or not. But without taking steps of faith, we miss the opportunity to see His power…to see Him at work.
Maybe this is what Jesus meant when he said: “I tell you the truth, 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). Maybe He meant that what God is asking from us is relatively small. Not easy always, but small. He asks for faith, then He moves the mountains…and we get to see it and sometimes be a part of it. In that case, nothing is impossible.
Just a thought.
