And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our
faith. And the Lord said, If ye had
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou
plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey
you. Luke, Chapter 17, verses 5-6.
This passage seems especially appropriate since I’m
a “Focused on Other Things Christian,” thinking about selling my house, finding
a job and buying another house. If I
were really paying attention to what I’m writing, I would realize my faith is
weak, because I am worrying and having sleepless nights.
I need to focus on God and things will fall into
place. He works everything out so
beautifully in timing, if I have the patience to let Him.
Here are some related passages:
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and
not one of them is forgotten before God?
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than
many sparrows. Luke, Chapter 12, verses
6-7.
*Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are
of more value than many sparrows.
Matthew, Chapter 10, verses 29-31.
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
