When I first began my walk with God, I thought I had to do something grand to see His hand move in my life. But the truth is, God often works through small, consistent acts of faith . Jesus illustrated this perfectly in Matthew 17:20 when He said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” I remember deciding to read just one chapter of the Bible every day. It didn’t seem like much, but I stayed consistent. After a month, my understanding of God’s Word deepened. After six months, I noticed my prayers were more aligned with His will.
