THAT'S FAITH
Today's reading: Luke 7-8

"...Lord, don't trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor. I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say 'Go' and they go, or 'Come' and they come. And if I say to my slaves, 'Do this or that', they do it. When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd, he said, 'I tell you, I haven't seen faith like this in all the land of Israel!'" Luke 7:7-10 NLT

Real faith is believing God is able, despite the circumstances, the conditions, the location or the depths of despair.

Real faith is knowing His power extends beyond any time, space or distance.

It's believing He is with teensy, tiny twins in a NICU a state away.

It's believing He travels a few hours away with a family of dear friends as they go to bury a nephew and comfort those he leaves behind.

It's believing He hears a missionary's prayer across the ocean.

It's believing He is at work in our nation's capital way across this beautiful land.

It's believing He will be present tomorrow at a Bible-preaching church  about 6 miles away.

It's believing He hears the prayers I pray from my prayer chair on a country road in the middle of no where.

Real faith is believing He is. Period.
