Which Mustard Seed Am I Using?

I present you with a question today. This question is to make you look inside of yourself and realize which one you have chosen.

                                           Which Mustard Seed have you chosen?
Mustard Seed #1                                                                                   Mustard Seed #2               

They look exactly the same. They are both small, yet powerful. Every seed has a purpose; however, it is how you use this seed that will make the difference in your life.

And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have Faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you."
- Matt 17:20

The purpose of this saying, was to simply inform those following Jesus that if you have Faith, you can look at something as massive as a mountain and tell it to move, and it will move.

Mustard Seed #1 represents Faith while Mustard Seed #2 represents Doubt

Now what about those of us who utilize Doubt instead of Faith? How can you look at this mountain in your life and tell it to be gone if you doubt that it will actually move? You can not. It is impossible to move something when you doubt it.

We live out our lives saying, "I wish I had a better paying job," or "I wish I could do this," and we never accomplish those things because we do not utilize that mustard seed of Faith. We are doubting what Jesus can do for us, and in doing so, we cripple ourselves.

If we said, "I have faith that Jesus will bless me with a better paying job," and we do not doubt it at all, we can have that better paying job.

So while Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains out of your life, Doubt the size of a mustard seed can bring failure and destruction in your life.

So my question to you....Which mustard seed are YOU utilizing?
