lots of faith

“Will the Father not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?” -Jesus

In Matthew 6, Jesus was instructing his followers on how to trust God. He basically said this world is a safe place to be when God is your Father. He said we don’t have to worry and fret like people who have no connection with God (pagans) and that God is ready and eager to care for those who belong to him by supplying the simple, daily things – stuff to eat and drink, and clothes to wear.

But Jesus knew that trusting God like this would not be easy. In fact, he said it would take lots of faith to buy into the idea that God was present enough and caring enough to watch our back on the daily stuff of life. He said we evidence “little faith” when we don’t accept that.
