Honestly this is a very challenging verse for me. As I have been seeking the Lord and a deeper relationship with him, I have come to realize just how little faith I have. I remember driving home from Colorado after the summer and literally looking out the window, staring with all the intensity I could at the mountain, thinking Lord move that mountain, and I wasn't even joking, but since I knew it wouldn't happen, surprise, it didn't move.
So if you believe what the Bible says to be true, then if one of us has the faith of a mustard seed (which I looked up, and it is the smallest seed, 3mm in diameter) then we could move a mountain. So since none of us have moved a mountain before, I assume our faith is way smaller than a mustard seed. Geez. Thats pretty small. But then again, I guess we are pretty small. Faith is also being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Heb 11:1). That for me is hard to swallow and certainly not an easy thing to do, but the things that are worth risking your life for never are.
I also think faith is believing that He is able. Do you think God is big enough to move that mountain? Really? Do you think God is big enough to take your future and use every talent and skill He gave you to benefit His kingdom? Do you really? I ask myself these questions all the time, and honestly it's hard to follow them with a resounding YES.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Eph. 3:20- Believe it!
