"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. nothing will be impossible for you." matthew 17:20
yesterday my sister, vicky, sold her house. typically homes in their area take a year to sell. yesterday my sister put a for sale sign up in her yard. yesterday it took two hours to sell for full asking price. yesterday a miracle happened because their family took hold of a mustard seed and wouldn't let go; God moved their mountain. in fact, a few weeks ago dave, (brother-in-law) told vicky, "God can sell this house in a day if he wants" God took that mustard seed and did abundantly above. they don't have a house to move into yet, but God sold their house he'll povide a new one. more mustard seeds. more mountains. the question becomes clear. why are we so surprised that their house sold in two hours? we've prayed that if the Lord wanted them to go back into ministry that He would provide. we've prayed specifically that the house would sell quickly and when it does we stand mystified.
just a mustard seed...
praise be to God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even imagine!

oh my, i love this! i was just thinking today of how the LORD is providing so much for me right now...one little step of faith at a time. i feel like i'm on an adventure with the LORD: what will He provide today! i can't wait to find out from day to day what it will be. it's the little things that are the best because all together they make up a really big thing. GOD even cares about the small details of our lives. i think they are the most important....
praise, praise, praise!
thank you for telling me what i need to remember. i have been dealing with the very subject of housing in my lack of seed size faith. if He feeds the birds, He WILL meet my needs. oh faith that falters where God waits to supply. pray for me.
