“Faith as small as a mustard seed…” (Matthew 17:20)

People sometimes speak of faith as if it came in amounts– “He has so much faith.” I argue that faith does not come in amounts, but rather is something that is exercised. Faith is belief, and belief is not something that comes in amounts; you either believe or you don’t. It is what you do as a result of that belief that constitutes the “greatness” or “littleness” of your faith. Jesus says that faith as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain. How much smaller than a mustard seed can you get? The point is, that a seemingly small act of faith can produce tremendous results. Don’t be concerned with increasing your faith; just increase the number of times you use your faith.
