Believing in faith

Faith is something in which is hard to defined. But once the ability to have faith occurs it makes it easier to understand the concept of believing. When I think about this I look to DC Talk Jesus Freak album where in one of the songs says, "Faith is the evidence of things unseen." We get caught up with the idea of seeing is believing but what if believing is seeing. When we change the manner in which we view believing as being able to see instead of waiting to see what happens our thinking will be changed.

All of this to say one little thing.......

Jesus says that we only need faith the size of a mustard seed to see this Mt. cast into the sea. We feel many times that we have to have this catastrophic amount of faith in order for Jesus to work in our lives when simply stated that faith the size of a mustard seed would be enough. But what about having faith like a child we also see this concept in Jesus' teachings. I think that if we can imagine what God could do we would be opened to allowing his work in our daily lives. We put a holding limit on God and what he can do because we are unable to believe and have enough faith for him to even work. When all God wants us to do is be open to what it is He has for us.

Simple right, not that hard, but really if you think about it, it is. We are so use to our own thinking that when God wants to call us out of our boat like he did with Peter our faith is weakened. All God wants to do is grow that faith. Next time when he calls you to something new, different, scary be willing to get out of your boat and grow that faith. Believing is seeing just open your eyes to what God is already preparing you to do. He's ready are you?
