Recall:
When the disciples had Jesus off to themselves, they asked, “Why couldn’t we throw it out?”
“Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”
- Matthew 17:19-20, The MEssage
Reflect:
Is it real? Is it true? Does it work? This interchange haunts me. Is it possible that I am missing most of what God could do through me because of my lack of faith? Because I'm not taking God seriously?
Respond:
Here is all I know to do: consistently, relentlessly develop my relationship with God. That means trimming out everything that doesn't facilitate that. No more TV in the morning for me. It's the same news every day anyway. Do I really need to be the first person to know who McCain and Obama pick for their VP? Wouldn't that time be better spent making space to take God seriously?
