📖 Scripture Connection

Matthew 17:20

“He said to them, 'Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.'”

— Matthew 17:20 (WEB)

Just as a tiny seed can grow into a large plant, a small amount of faith can accomplish great things
