Matthew 17:14
Faith is an interesting thing. It grows in us quite differently at times. Thus, genuine faith is harder to come by and is worth its weight in gold. This man, who was one of the multitude, it seems had already seen Jesus do other miracles. Thus, he was working himself up to the point of actually asking about healing the boy. The context of this story in Mark 9 offers more clues. It gives us the idea, between the two accounts, that this man’s faith was growing, though slowly.
Bible Reading: Jeremiah 33:1-36:32
Scripture Memory: 1 John 4:15 “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for working in us. You know how faithless we can be, and yet You work to produce it in us. You are merciful and gracious, and it is of Your mercy that we have anything. Father, never let us forget how gracious You are to us. You have done so much, what we will do for You? You deserve all of our praise! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
