Nothing is Impossible

14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 "Lord, have mercy on my son," he said. "He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."
17 "You unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"
20 -21 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, 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 17:14-21



As many times as I have read this most popular verse concerning the mustard seed from the book of Matthew, I am still trying to grasp the depth and meaning of what Jesus was saying to His disciples. It seems so easy to just have faith and to believe and as a result all of our dreams and desires that are in line with the Holy Spirit’s call and direction would come to fruition and we all would realize the utopian life for which we all strive and dream, but why is it so hard to just believe? Why is it so hard to remember the God that we serve? Why is it so hard to see and know that we are connected by our very nature to the creator of this world who is still in control of everything and who wants only the very best for you and me as His children? Maybe it would help today to look at the past and consider all that He has done. Our God is indeed faithful and everything is possible for His children who would just believe. Believe God today for whatever it is that He has placed on your heart and just see what He can do!
