Matthew 9:29
“Let it be done for you according to your faith.”
-------------------------------------------
In my childhood years, my parents would always bring us to the circus and magic shows. I would always be fascinated with hand magic (card tricks, disappearing coins) and mind-boggling tricks (woman being sawn in half). And the trick that would really interest me is when the magician makes a person float in the air, and move him from one place to another then back. It was really captivating, but I know it is just a magic trick and can be explained. I really doubt that the magician can really do that and there might but some contraptions underneath that blanket. But when I started doubting, the fun was gone, the feeling of fascination ended.
The same is true with our faith in God - once we start doubting, then our lives become nothing but mere magical routine.
Lord Jesus, You did explained to us that we can have the ability to move mountains and trees, if we only have the faith the size of a mustard seed. By this simple remark, You have challenged our whole being, that our life must be lived in total faith to You - to follow and say what You believe is right, without doubting! For without faith, it is impossible to please You, Oh Lord, for we must constantly come to You; must always believe that You would reward those who diligently seek You and Your will (Hebrews 11:6).
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, I know that faith is more precious than any gold or riches and due to this, that I would be continuously tested for my faith. But even though I can expect difficulties and persecutions in my life of faith, I should expect more blessings as well – gift of salvation (Eph 2:8), and answer to prayers (Matthew 21:22). And through faith, I shall continually obey Your will with an ever-trusting heart, totally repenting my sins and not entertaining temptations. Help me cultivate my faith, Oh Lord, that I may do greater things, and even move mountains, all for the glory of Your mighty name.
Amen +
The Lord is my light and my salvation.
