"Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left." (John 4: 50 NABRE)
Are you scratching your head trying to understand what faith really is? Above is the best definition of faith in action. Act according to this model and nothing will be impossible to you. On top of this, you will receive for asking, the gift of understanding that helps you to perceive what God is doing in your life should He choose to block your path in any project.
The subject of our key Scripture today is described as a "royal official." His son was healed "and he and his whole household came to believe." (John 4: 53). This is amazing and a challenge to all of us. You may think: "If only the Lord would perform a great miracle like raising the dead, wiping out cancer and ISIS from the world, I will be believe." No, you won't. “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones." (Luke 16: 10 NLT). What does this mean? God is working miracles in your life every single day. If you do not notice them and give thanks, even if the Lord were to raise a thousand dead people before your eyes, wipe out cancer and ISIS from the world, you will walk away preoccupied by other things. God's word is a spiritual law. It never fails.
On Day 27 of 40 of Lent 2017, the word of God encourages you to humble yourself and pray: "Lord, increase our faith." (Luke 17: 5).
