A Little Does a Lot
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.”
(Luke 17:6 NIV)
If you can trust God with just a small prayer, a small idea, a small sacrifice, He can turn it into something that has kingdom-size impact and blesses many. You may start with just a small desire…
• To get off of drugs.
• To get out of an abusive situation.
• To go back to school.
• To try and make a difficult call.
• To take one small step.
It doesn’t matter how seemingly insignificant that desire may be—you can trust God for the rest. He can make up the difference. He can cover the space. He can answer the prayer. And He can put His anointing on it.
This is what is required of you: to trust God so strong, so heavy, and so deep that you will testify, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength,” knowing in your heart that with men things are impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Those seemingly insignificant things can make significant impact, because if you give God something small, He can turn it around and make it something cataclysmically big. Little becomes much when you place it in the Master’s hands.
I’ve done that with my bills. I’ve done that with my dreams. I’ve done that with my faith. I’ve said, “God, all I have is a little. This is all I have to negotiate with.” And He said, “That’s all I need. All I need is faith the size of a mustard seed. Let Me prove it to you.”
Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, and minds have not conceived what great things God has in store for you. Don’t you let go of that dream. Don’t you let go of that thought. Don’t you let go of that small little discipline. I don’t care if all you have is a tiny idea—you keep churning it and you keep praying about it. You keep offering it to the Lord and you keep making it your sacrifice unto Him.
I promise you that God can take that tiny bit and use it to prove to you that He can radically change your world.
It is through Jesus that we are empowered to do great things. So confess to Him that your belief is small. He will help your unbelief, because His grace is sufficient!
