Kutless - What Faith Can Do

What do you believe in? What things or people do you put your trust in? When the going gets tough, what do you depend on to get you through it? The answer to this question is one of the most important that you can give. It reflects your outlook on life, and it is an indicator of how you will act in hard spots. Unfortunately, many people will produce the wrong answer for this pop quiz. Today's stuff-centered culture pressures us to place our faith wrongly on how many toys we can afford or our social status.

None of these things can satisfy the deep needs we have or protect us from hardships. Only by placing our faith and hope in Christ can we see what faith can actually accomplish. Christ said to his disciples that "if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) And still the disciples continuously struggled with their faith in Jesus, even though they were with Him almost non-stop for three years. It's easy to let doubt, or even misplaced faith, take over our lives. But as this song tells us, we live a life more full and free when we place our faith in Christ.
