Matthew 17:20 says, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed..." but what does that mean? Pastor Randy Bezet said, "Heaven is full of answers to prayers for people who gave up too soon." In his testimony about trying to find funding for our new church home so we could reach more people for Christ, Pastor Randy spoke about how every bank was turning us down for a loan. He felt frustrated and ready to give in. But then God spoke to him and said that if he was going to give up, that he didn't belong being our pastor. Pastor Randy said that he told God that he didn't have much faith left, but he had enough faith to try one more time. That one more time was all it took.
The Lord doesn't expect us to complete anything on our own. But if we will take one more step, pray one more prayer, dream one more dream, try one more time, if we will do it once more, then our time, our answer, our promise is right around the corner. 1 Peter 3:6 says, "Like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham...You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear." You may be on the edge and feel as though you can't go on, but do you have faith enough to try once more and leave the rest up to God? Give God your best and leave the results up to Him, that's all He's ever asked us to do anyway.
