The Sovereignty of God Vs. Faith

The beautiful passage of scripture in Psalm 46 declares that God is our “refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” grounding us in His unshakable presence, no matter the chaos around us.

Matthew 17:20 teaches that faith, even as small as a mustard seed, can move mountains. Jesus said that the disciples were unbelieving, possibly because what they saw in the young boy caused them to lose sight that faith’s power lies not in their strength, but in God’s. They doubted that THEY could deliver him. I think we share in this skepticism.

But, together, these passages remind us that when we take shelter in God’s steadfastness, even the smallest genuine trust in Him can unleash His limitless power in our lives.
