Faith. Its a nice thing to have isnt it? It has a pleasant ring to it. And so what we want to do is we want to have it like … like a trophy. We polish it up, put it in the glass cabinet, we admire it, we think to ourselves - Yep. Thats it. I have faith. Maybe even show the odd friend or two. But heres the thing. Unless we put it into action, its not really faith at all. Unless we use our faith out there in the heat of the battle, out there where it really counts, in the places wed rather not find ourselves, in the tight spots, the binds, the confronting, even scary situations that we wouldnt have chosen for ourselves - unless we deploy our faith out there, its dead. Jesus said if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. I tell you, its just as well - because my little mustard seed of faith, it looks so unimpressive up there in my display cabinet.
