How do you rate your faith?


It is privilege to have John van de Laar as a friend. He is guest blogging for me today. May you be blessed by these awesome thoughts.

How would you rate your faith? To what extent do you think that the amount of faith you have makes a difference to your life?

These may seem like strange questions to ask, but if you think about it, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s pretty common to ‘measure’ faith in these ways. Even though we’re not always aware of it, most of us have an internal ‘thermometer’ checking up on our faith and that of others – especially when it comes to times of prayer of great struggle.

In Matthew 17:20 Jesus says that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains! This may make you feel that your faith is absolutely tiny, but don’t be too hard on yourself. The point is that we don’t need to measure our faith, we need to use it. And even small acts of faith have dramatic effects.

How do you move mountains? One stone at a time!
