Is My Faith Strong Enough?


Matthew 17:20 
 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
I have never really been the type of person to "think aloud" if this is what this could be called, However I Have had this in my mind and in the back of my heart for a while now. That thought was simply "Is my Faith strong enough?" What I simply mean by that is do I truly trust God with everything in my life and do I have the faith to test myself? Do something that would be so radical that the only explanation would be God. To be completely honest no I don't. That's just the "big" stuff however, I have gone so far lately to question if I have the faith to step out of my comfort zone to see God work. The answer I would have to be would be a sad and short no. So in order to better myself I had to think of what real faith is what a strong faith looks like, and the first thing that popped into my head would  be the Elijah's contest on Mt. Carmel with the prophets of baal (1 Kings 18:16-46). How many of us could say we could stand as the only firm believer in something being surrounded by hundreds of other people believing in another thing all the while putting our respective beliefs to test. I even have a hard time debating with friends over things that don't really matter! To be able to potentially put my life on the line in what may seem impossible, that is what I want my faith to be like. Lately I have had an idea for a song and have only just now started to write it out, it simply starts with the line
 "If faith can move mountains, why is Everest sitting still.
If our God is all sufficient what have we to fear."
I don't expect it to be some amazing song that changes thousands of lives, I simply want it to be a praise from my heart, and the only goal I wish to accomplish with it is for it to be a song i can worship my God with and a reminder of what I want my faith to resemble. My Faith Song.
