Where is your faith?

We are called to live our lives as closely to Jesus example as we can, but in this scripture selection I think we need to look at the lives of those who had faith. The faith of the man with the dead daughter and the faith of the blooding woman are far beyond the faith that we sometimes show in our lives.

Look closely at how the scripture describes the man. What was it he did first? He worshiped Jesus on bended knee. Afterwards, asking Jesus to bring his daughter back to life. He did not ask Jesus if he could heal her, but instead asked if Jesus would just come and lay His hands on her she would live again. He knew Jesus could bring back the dead. Now that is faith.

Then look at the faith of the woman. She knew Jesus had the power to heal her. She didn't even ask she just reached out and touched His garment. In Luke 8 we see that Jesus even felt power leave Him when this woman touched His garment. Again, amazing faith to knew Jesus could heal.

So where is my faith today? Do I believe Jesus can do what He said He would do? why am I troubled when things do not go as planned? I guess I need to look at the planner. Was it me who planned it or Jesus? I know His plan is always carried out, now I need the faith to live in that statement.
