Faith

I have been thinking a lot about faith lately.

Faith is being certain of what we do not see, yes. But it is also being sure of what we hope for.

After pondering the lives of the faithful mentioned in Hebrews 11 I am struck by the fact that faith always, in every one of those circumstances, requires action.

Faith is not still.

Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief. It is a pseudo belief only. - AW Tozer

It also strikes me as crazy that Christ said that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, that kind of faith would be mountain moving... tree uprooting kind of faith.

So how do I get that mountain moving faith? Is it as simple as listening to God's voice through scripture and those he puts in my life and then start moving? Is it just taking small step after small step leading towards him?

I have always thought of mountain moving faith as big. You just needed a little of it, but when you got it, it was larger than life. I am beginning to wonder if mountain moving faith is really found in the simple things. The feet moving in unfamiliar patterns, one step at a time. Following. Following. Unrelentingly Following Him.
