For example, not tithing because we don’t think we can and still have what we need to cover our expenses is a lack of faithīelieving something is not His will comes from studying the scriptures and knowing that there are simply some things God won’t do for us because He knows better.Īn example of this would be pursuing a romantic relationship with a non-Christian asking God to give you this person as your husband or wife, but the relationship doesn’t work out. This probably leads you to the question of how I know which is which.Ī lack of faith is simply not trusting God to keep His promises, believing He can do something, or believing that He wants to bless us and direct our lives.
Sometimes I don’t believe God will do something that I know He is fully capable of because I am convinced it simply isn’t His will. And that, my friends, is a lack of faith. I believe with every ounce of my being that God is the one and only God, that He is the creator of the universe, and that He is almighty and all-knowing.īut… there have been plenty of times (and sadly, I’m sure there will be more) that I don’t think God will do what I know He can do. I believe with every ounce of my being that God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants, however He wants. So why, then, aren’t we doing more? And why do so many of us feel God isn’t working in our lives the way we want Him to? A lack of faith or simply not God’s will? So yah, that’s pretty small, isn’t it? Yet Jesus says that if we have even that little amount of faith there is nothing we cannot do. To be more precise, it is about the size of the head of a straight pin-the kind used by seamstresses to pin a pattern to fabric. Nothing will be impossible for you.” ~Matthew 17:20-21Īs small as a mustard seed… that’s pretty small. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.
He replied, “Because you have so little faith.
