Where do we LOOK? It’s not about “how much” faith. It’s a matter of where we look IN faith.
The secret, of course, is that the size of the faith isn’t important; what’s important is the God in whom you believe. If you want to see the moon, the size of the window you’re looking through isn’t important; what matters is that it’s facing in the right direction. A tiny slit in the wall will do if the moon is that side of the house. A huge window facing in the wrong direction will be no good at all. That’s what true faith is like. The smallest prayer to the one true God will produce great things; the most elaborate devotions to a ‘god’ of your own making, or indeed someone else’s, will be useless, or worse.
