Mustard Seed Poem by Blessing Kalamatila

I want you to think of a mustard seed;
small, yet that's all we need when we read Scripture according to the text in Matthew but why do only a few take heed?
I mean, if you think about it,
not soo much of it is required,
we are wired to depend on God through faith and without it,
He won't approve of your heart's desires.

But what happens when you are tired, frustrated, or depleted when trapped in a circle of repeated failure?
read your Bible and get inspired,
because scripture reminds me of a son who came back whole from a scheduled sacrifice by his Father
when an earthquake was induced by a 2- man choir, or;
when the Hebrew guys were cast into a furnace but outlasted the fire.

Let's go back to the size of a mustard seed; small, yet that's all you need but if that's the case,
why then do we find it hard to have even that much faith?
It's as though we don't have the promise of being delivered from all of our Afflictions.

Ironic how easy it is to forget He knew us before conception,
And hard for us to remember that we are forever children in his sight,
What an altered perception.
Do we suddenly feel old enough to even attach expectations when praying to the God of the exception?
Last I checked, calling unto him does not guarantee
you like the answer;
A 'yes! ' feels good
No! ' can be discouraging
but a 'wait! ' can convince us of not getting a clear response from Him; like bad reception.

Deception is satan's specialty;
So he may use our addictions against us to blind us from the truth
or culture that may have our youth thinking of the Bible as some contradiction.
See, they may think of it as fiction only
because he's infiltrated their minds with too many facts;
A good example is knowing
unless the water is converted
to a high density,
only then can one walk on it
but a little faith can make a vast difference,
if you going to ask how another human being besides Jesus can walk on water too;
then peter is a good reference.

Pay attention; class in session
Why do we always ask the wrong questions?
like the disciples;
when you think back to when Jesus gave sight to a man born blind.
It is written; only when we seek, shall we find,
As weak as that may sound
by grace His' strength is made perfect when we are weak, speak but not soo highly of ourselves, and stay humble in spirit;
remember how He blesses the meek?

I guess not, because when pride has your lens; it's easy to be shortsighted with the word.
It's even easier to take verses out of context
And settle for what we choose to observe,
If we serve a mighty God
Do we think our need to know his plans supersedes our faith in him?
How absurd!

You see the mustard seed was the proverbial type for the infinitely little
And with a faith of that size, even our doubts get freed,
At the utterance of His name demons will flee,
The price he paid on that cross makes our salvation free and
our preference submits to a greater promise that only He guarantees.
