WHERE IS IT?

Today's reading: Luke 7-8

"Then he asked them, Where is your faith?" Luke 8:25 NLT

When Jesus asks you a question, the answer needs to come from deep down within us.

He's not asking for the Sunday School answer.

He's not asking for the theological thesis argument.

He's not asking for what your pastor told you.

He's asking you. Like he asked his disciples that day on the boat.

Where is your faith?

For them, their faith at that very moment wasn't in Jesus--but in the boat they were in.

Their faith was in their lifelong skills on the water.

Their faith was in the sturdy dock on the other side of the sea--their target.

What about us?

Is it our health we're trusting in?

Our accumulation of wealth that's keeping us settled?

Our lineage? Our upstanding reputation in the community? Our degrees and certifications?

If our faith isn't in our Savior, it's wobbly, weak and wasting our time.

When you get in the middle of the seas, with the waves crashing up against your little boat, and you hear Jesus ask, Where is your faith? You might as well confess it's been elsewhere than in Him...He knows it and wants you to be aware of it.
