Luke 17 Faith

 

Luke 17 – Faith

 

Faith is like a seed; it seems small and weak, but it has life in it, and if it is cultivated, it will grow and release power. We need faith for many areas of life.

 

We need faith to forgive. When people sin repeatedly, giving up on them is easy; but we must forgive them and trust God to work in their lives. We must be steppingstones, and not stumbling blocks.

 

It takes faith to serve, whether tending a field or a flock or preparing a meal. It takes faith to do the extraordinary, like moving a mountain.

 

We need faith to pray. The ten men believed that Jesus could help them, and He did. The Samaritan not only brought joy to Christ’s heart but received salvation from His hand. “Your faith has saved you!” when God answers your prayers, be sure to tell Him “Thank You!”

 

We need faith to be ready when He comes. The important thing is not to set dates but to be ready when He comes, for true faith leads to faithfulness. To look around at the increase in sin will discourage you, and to look back may destroy you, so look up and eagerly expect the Lord’s return today!
