Jesus Christ said the mustard seed "is the least of all the seeds"(Matthew 13:32 ). But He compared our faith to this tiny seed in Matthew 17:20, saying, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

A seed needs to be planted and watered so that it grows to its fullest potential and produces fruit. Do we need to do the same thing with faith? Or should we be content with what we already have?

    The Bible talks about faith but I haven't found much on guidelines to improving faith. We can't just read the likes of David and assume to have the same faith. By faith David rescued lambs from the jaws of lions. We do not all go through this path of fighting wild animals. Also is there a way to measure your increase in faith? How would one know if his faith is increasing or decreasing
