Yesterday we talked about persistent prayer, which reminds us of faith. Often we’re like the disciples, “I wish I had more faith!” But what does Jesus say?

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. (Luke 17.5 – 6, ESV)

It’s not the size of our faith, it’s the size of the object of our faith.

Faith is only as valid as its object. You could have tremendous faith in very thin ice and drown… You could have very little faith in very thick ice and be perfectly secure. – Stuart Briscoe

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us… (Ephesians 3.20, ESV)
