Happy Saturday and Happy Sweetest Day!
We are experiencing our first taste of cold weather as temperatures dipped into the 30’s overnight. Currently, at 6:45 a.m., it is a “balmy” 35 degrees. Boy does it feel wonderful to hold a hot coffee mug, a mug that seems hotter than normal.
Today’s post is based on the devotion Sow A Seed (day 12) in Mark Batterson’s Draw the Circle, The 40 Day Prayer Challenge.
In this devotion Mark writes about sequoia, watermelon and mustard seeds and the power of their seeds.
If you have faith as small as a mustard seed…
Matthew 17:20
Our dreams need faith, even faith as small as a mustard seed, to germinate. Faith steps out and prays bold prayers and then takes steps to make the dream come true, after all faith is an action verb (devotion for Day 7).
My dream is for this country to stay as the founding fathers envisioned – a country run by it’s citizens who had the freedom to make decisions for their lives. They did not want a country run by a tyrannical big government who told the citizens where to live, work and play.
My dream is not a small dream but I have buried that dream in my heart and am watering it with prayer. I have faith that if it is God’s will, this country will remain as a glorious light visible to all the world. (Matthew 5:14-16)
So go sow a seed and use your faith, even if it is as small as a mustard seed, to grow your dream.
