When Jesus Sees Our Faith

Scripture: Mark 2: [5] When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Observation: What does Jesus see when He looks at my faith? The last two days I’ve been so nervous about getting a job. I allow it to occupy a lot of my time. Today I sat outside the company I was interviewing with wondering what this day will bring, nervous if I’ll get the job and already wondering how I’ll support my wife and new home. Where is my faith? Jesus must be looking down saddened of his child He has gotten through so much and yet my faith is so weak.

Application: I need to give this burden to Jesus and trust his will be done. I need to let go of it now and let him work and no matter what might happen, trust in Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord take this burden from my heart and take charge. Show me how to be obedient and to stop and listen to you. Lord I believe, help my unbelief.
