“Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic (moonstruck) and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.” And Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed at once. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why could we not drive it out?” He answered, “Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and [if it is God’s will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. [Mark 11:23; Luke 17:6; 1 John 5:14]

We all desire to have faith that can move mountains. At some point in our lives we have had issues that we needed God to fix, change, heal, and provide for. Jesus said that all we need is faith the size of a mustard seed to move these mountains. In this 3-day devotional, we will see a small part of what Jesus meant when He proclaimed these words to us.
Like your muscles, if your faith is not used it will atrophy. So you have to exercise it regularly. Start with this 3-day reading plan! Let your faith work and receive the grace from God!
This reading plan takes you from a heavenly peak to the raw reality of the valley. From glory to disappointment. But above all, to the discovery that faith doesn’t start with great confidence in yourself, but with radical trust in God. With humor, Bible verses, and honest questions, this plan helps you become small enough to believe big.

We are all familiar with the phrase, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” It means that a person won’t accept something on blind faith, they need evidence before committing to believing it. But the spiritual life of a Christian reverses that and says, “Believing is seeing.” Tony Evans explains how Christians can see miracles if they commit to believing first.
