God’s Great Power Seen in a Small Seed
“So Jesus said to them, ‘Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.’”
Matthew 17:20

Ponder This
There’s a story about Darius the Great as he invaded Europe. He came into Europe, and Alexander the Great came to meet Darius of the Persians. Darius sent Alexander a bag of sesame seeds. His point was they were going to cover the land like countless sesame seeds. Alexander the Great sent him back a bag of mustard seeds to say, “You are going to meet fire and power and strength like you’ve never known before.”
The mustard seed may be small and insignificant in many ways, but it has strength. Someone once said, “Any fool can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the apples in a seed.” Isn’t that a beautiful thought? Only God can count the effectiveness of a seed. A seed can reproduce and reproduce repeatedly. It is a secret and a mystery to us, but it is fully known to God. He sees the seed, and He knows the fruit before anyone else sees it coming. We may dismiss faith the size of a mustard seed, but God knows what it can really do.
