Romans 12:3 tells us that God has given to every man a measure of faith. It does not suggest that it is the same measure given to each man or that it is not an equal measure. The important thing isn’t the amount of faith a man has but how he uses it.
In fact, in Matthew 17:20, Jesus says, “If you have faith the size of a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here and be cast into the sea,’ and it will be done.”
A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds, so by extrapolation, Jesus is saying if we have even a miniscule amount of faith, we will be able to do mighty spiritual exploits.
Why then do we not see great miracles abounding? Perhaps the answer is as simple as the reality that we live our lives so preoccupied with the temporal that we neglect to exercise the spiritual power that is ours.
