Big Talk, Small Faith

Ever hear the phrase "put your money where your mouth is!" Jesus said we only need faith the size of a mustard seed, even that can be a reach. I have been reminded in the last few weeks of a song by a Gospel group called Casting Crowns,

"Oh what I would do to have, The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in, Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!" "You'll never win!"

>> Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have,
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times, I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me,
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!" "You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size,
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so big,
From on top of them lookin' down,
I will soar with the wings of eagles,
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus,
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth".


For me school has been getting out of the boat, and I hear wind and waves...but for now I am still walking.
