July 4th we celebrated the 236^th anniversary of the birth of our country. A nation, that by all common sense, should never have been. It won a war it should never have been won - no army, no navy, a group of ragtag citizens armed with little more than sticks and dreams.

And when the war was finally won, fifty-five very diverse men gathered together to set down on paper an example of freedom that would be a beacon for centuries yet to come. Sweltering in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall in temperatures that sometimes rose to 125°, they disagreed on just about everything; argued and grew so angry their number finally shrank to thirty-nine.

It looked impossible, until a man named George Washington, rose and humbly said, “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest may repair. Put this event in the hands of God.”

A mustard seed moment.

And then not that long afterwards, old Ben Franklin quietly petitioned for prayer that tempers might be quieted and the grace and power of Almighty God might prevail.

Another mustard seed moment.

Yes, how wonderfully, impossibly improbable can be the actions of we human beings when we let the Lord of love take over.

Are you worrying yourself silly over actual or imagined wrongs? Are you nagging yourself to death over deeds done or left undone? Are you letting such little inconsequential things get in your way, blocking out the possibility of your own personal mustard seed moment?

Then dig in your heels and make it difficult for your worries to drag you around. Make it possible to have your mustard seed moment.

It’s too grand and glorious to do anything less.
