Long but hopefully worth the read......
Mustard Seed Faith
I needed this reminder this week.
This week has brought opportunities that are exciting, humbling, and honestly a little scary. The kind of opportunities that require faith. The kind that makes you realize how much easier it would be to stay where you're comfortable.
As I sat down today to create this ring, I couldn't help but notice God's timing. It wasn't lost on me that on a week when I'm being asked to step into places that require more faith, I was creating a ring centered around a mustard seed.
Such a tiny thing.
Yet Jesus used it to teach one of the most powerful lessons about faith.
Not because a mustard seed is impressive, but because it reminds us that faith isn't about having all the answers. It's about trusting the One who does.
This special ring came to life through a collaboration with Ellen from 88 Silver, and today it became more than just a piece of jewelry. It became a tangible reminder of what God has been teaching me all week.
And God wasn't done reminding me.
Last night, I sat down to do my Bible writing. Normally, I do it in the morning, but life had gotten busy. I had been working through distractions, getting wrapped up in the things of this world, and honestly feeling discouraged.
Then I came across these words:
"Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only." — Matthew 4:10
There it was again.
A gentle reminder to take my eyes off everything else and place them back where they belong.
Then, when Ellen stopped by to drop off my ring blank, I shared with her how discouraged I had been feeling. As we visited, she offered wisdom and encouragement, and one thing she said stopped me in my tracks:
"God doesn't call us to be comfortable."
Those words settled right into my heart.
Because isn't that exactly what faith is?
Not having every answer.
Not knowing exactly how things will work out.
Not waiting until everything feels safe.
But trusting God enough to take the next step anyway.
I just love when God speaks like that.
When the same message keeps showing up through Scripture, through conversations, through godly friends, and through the smallest details that could easily be overlooked.
A mustard seed.
A verse.
A conversation.
A reminder.
God always shows up.
And it isn't lost on me that this week, in the middle of opportunities that require faith and obedience, He has been right here with me every step of the way, reminding me that I don't need to have it all figured out. I simply need to trust Him.
"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed... nothing will be impossible for you." — Matthew 17:20
Faith doesn't grow in comfort. It grows in obedience. If you made it hear thank you for reading. I appreciate you!!
