Faith of a Mustard Seed

 I saw this necklace on The Positive Christian. It is a cross with a see through middle that contains a mustard seed. I think it is not only beautiful but also can be instructional; Mustard Seed Necklace (it is on sale from $17.10 to $9.97 [at least at the time of this posting - so one should check the price before ordering one]). I don't gain or profit from showing this but I thought it was a great way to start a blog about the faith of a mustard seed. 

Here is a photo from their website; The Positive Christian. 

It comes in silver or gold finished. 


The scripture that has the 'faith of a mustard seed is Matthew 17:20 KJV (one can see other versions [translations] of this verse at Bible Gateway too). Bible Hub is where one can see the different translations side by side to compare the scriptures for Matthew 17:20. 

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

The scripture indicates one doesn't have to have a lot of faith to accomplish things. A mustard seed is a very small thing; as one can see on the cross that is pictured. I have been told that it is one of the smallest seeds around. 

It includes the encouragement card. 


This Got Questions site has a very good lesson on what this verse means. I have read it and it is very good. One should always check what one reads with scripture to make sure how Biblical it is. 

Cross Walk has a great article on the mustard seed. As with the above, doing ones own research also helps to see how Biblical it is. The site also has other verses one can read too. 


I do not gain or profit from showing the necklace from Positive Christian. I just think it is a neat way to start a conversation about the faith of a mustard seed. Perhaps having or wearing it could also be a way to start a conversation on it?

The Lord's Pressence

  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at ...

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

Image
This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a varie...

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me pa...
