Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Jesus teaches that even the smallest genuine faith can accomplish the impossible.
The mustard seed was proverbially the smallest of seeds, yet Jesus says faith of that size can move mountains. This isn't about quantity but quality - authentic faith in a mighty God. Mountains represent insurmountable obstacles in our lives. When we place even small faith in our great God, nothing is impossible.

Don't despise small beginnings of faith; bring your mountain-sized problems to God with mustard-seed trust today.
Prayer
Lord, I confess my faith feels small, but I place it in You, the mighty God. Use my little faith to accomplish Your great purposes. Amen.
