EXERCISE YOUR LITTLE FAITH AND IT WILL GROW!
WHY IS YOUR FAITH SO LITTLE?
"As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep.
"They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
"He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?”
"Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.
"The men were amazed and said, “What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?” (Matthew 8: 23 - 27).

Consider the reproach of Jesus about the little faith of His disciples in these words: 'WHY IS YOUR FAITH SO LITTLE?'
If you are asked: Why is your faith so little? What would you answer?
My answer will probably be:
I have not learned sufficiently the difference a strong faith will make in my life. Yes this is the big Reason!
The second reason is this:
You do not exercise the small faith you have. Yes this is also true. Whatever you exercises grows and becomes stronger.
Lord Jesus, You show us in today's Gospel that it is Your Will that we have strong faith. Grant us light to see the difference a strong faith will make in our life. Show us little ways we can exercise our faith every day.
Folks, the ball is now in our court. Jesus Christ promises to answer our prayers. Say the above prayers several times a day and watch what will happen.
I must stop walking by sight or feeling but by words of Christ.
