Little Faith Or Weak Faith

LITTLE FAITH OR WEAK FAITH

"Take No Thought"

Regarding little faith, it is written, Matthew 6 :30-WHEREFORE, IF GOD SO CLOTHE THE GRASS OF THE FIELD, WHICH TO DAY IS, AND TO MORROW IS CAST INTO THE OVEN, SHALL HE NOT MUCH MORE CLOTHE YOU, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH?

Here "little faith" is portrayed in relation to doubting, worrying, or wondering if God will provide those things which are needful, such as food, drink, and clothing.

God’s answer for this is, Matthew 6:31-34-THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT, SAYING, WHAT SHALL WE EAT? OR, WHAT SHALL WE DRINK? OR, WHEREWITHAL SHALL WE BE CLOTHED?
(FOR AFTER ALL THESE THINGS DO THE GENTILES SEEK:) FOR YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS.

BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.

TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT FOR THE MORROW: FOR THE MORROW SHALL TAKE THOUGHT FOR THE THINGS OF ITSELF. SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF.

Luke 12:32-FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; FOR IT IS YOUR FATHER'S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM. (Ref Luke 12:22-32.)
God’s remedy is clear.
1. First seek the kingdom of God.
2. Trust completely in God to provide.
3. Do not even think about the situation of food, drink, and clothing.
4. Take no thought for tomorrow.
5. Get rid of fear.
Various situations will come upon the Christian to test or prove their faith, to see if it is genuine.
