BE ONE OF GREAT FAITH

FAITH GIANTS TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “Then Jesus answered and said to her, ‘O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed from that very hour” (Matthew 15:28). DAILY FIRE! I intend to be a giant among pygmies, riding high above the spiritual poverty of the world. Every time somebody is healed, it breaks through the unbelief of the world. It has to, or we will never get near Jesus at all.  Believe God!  It will please some people, and amaze everybody else. Jesus dealt with people’s varying degrees of faith. Some tried to keep theirs hidden, like the sick woman who crept through the crowd to touch the hem of His garment, but did not want others to know.  He healed her anyway. Some had “risky” faith, like the four friends who wanted healing for their paralytic friend (whose faith was it anyway, that brought healing to the sick man—that sick man’s, or that of his friends?).  That miracle caused rejoicing in believers, but fear in the hearts of the unbelievers. Or there was faith based on authority: such as the centurion (probably a pagan) who yet believed that Jesus was more than capable of healing by His word, and who received Jesus’ commendation: “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” as well as healing for his servant (Matthew 8:10). We are surrounded every day by doubters.  Godlessness is the order of the day.  Newspapers, radio, television, all of them push godlessness down our throats for breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper.  If we want faith, we should try a different diet than all this rationalistic chaff.  Feed on the Bible, prayer, Christian encouragement, and faith-building reading. Come hopefully, exercising faith (however nervously) and you will get more faith!  The believer is destined to be a giant, walking tall, riding high above the spiritual poverty of the world, the representative of a greater order of creation, a strength and a pillar: The loss of wealth is much The loss of health is more The loss of faith is such That nothing can restore.
