Where
Is
Your
Faith?
Scripture
Luke
8
22 One
day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other
side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out.
23 As they
sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the
boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
He
got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm
subsided, and all was calm.
In
fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He
commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
Observation
So
I ask you today, “Where is your faith?” All of us are putting our
faith into something, for some of us it might be in ourselves, for
others maybe it is in the government, or maybe you are placing your
faith in another human being, like a parent, grandparent or a husband
or your best friend.
All
of those mentioned above will eventually let us down – maybe you
find yourself disillusioned with life because someone didn't come
through for you?
If
that is the case let me recommend that you place your faith in
Someone who will never let you down. He will always be there for you.
His
name is Jesus.
Trust
Him today!
Proverbs
3:5-6
5 Trust in
the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Application
My
faith is in Christ alone.
How
about you? Where is your faith?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I have been let down by people in the past and I know that it
will happen again in the future. When things get rough and life is
difficult I will place my faith and my trust in You. I know that the
stories that I read in Your Word are there to help me to trust in You
and to trust in You alone.
I
pray for those who are going through difficult times. Help them to
look to You for help.
Matthew
11:28-30
28 “Come
to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest. 29 Take my
yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For
my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
