If I had the faith of a mustard seed surely the Razorbacks would have triumphed over NC in the “Big Dance” this year. Then again, Luis has more influence with the Big Guy and he’s a huge NC fan, so my prayers would have been trumped. We all know that God doesn’t intervene in basketball games, otherwise that last shot by Notre Dame against Kentucky would have gone in and erased all memories of Christian Laettner.
So what kind of faith is God asking us for?
God wants us to have faith in him. We place ourselves in his care and open ourselves up to his healing touch. Like a “mustard seed” God gives us the care and nurturing we need to grow into the fullness of the life we were meant to live. The faith we are all asked to have is simple — trust your life to God’s love, forgiveness, and mercy. He will do the rest in us.
