Tall Order

Today's brief passage from Luke 17:1-6 contains a tall order:  avoid scandalizing the young and forgiving others seven times seven.  No wonder the disciples asked for an increase of faith!   How else could we comply with these difficult demands?  It is faith in God's power and grace that will make I possible for us to carry them out.  We  haven't seen many mulberry trees transplanting themselves to the sea,  have we? So it would seem that our faith is not even the size of a mustard seed! Lord, increase our faith, help our unbelief,  lest we be overwhelmed by our sins and lack of forgiveness.
