""Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?" Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, "Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?" Mark 2:7-8
A little food for thought. What things do we not believe and have to see to believe, is that really faith or is it head knowledge. The scribes couldn't believe that this guy could forgive sins, only God can do that. Jesus seen their reaction to what He said and knew immediately their thoughts. Then He proved He was God by healing the paralytic. Once again, this is head knowledge not heart knowledge. We are human and want proof but God wants our heart and our brain. If we have to see to believe, we are not operating on faith. What things is God asking of you and you are waiting on proof? Operate on faith and trust in God.
Dear Lord God, increase my faith and help my unbelief. Show me the areas I need to increase my faith and take me by the hand and move me in faith. Speak to my heart so I may learn to hear Your voice and trust in You. Protect me and my family from the evil one. I thank You for engaging my thoughts and helping me ponder, it is in the silence that You are heard. Bless this day Lord and protect those that are placed in each of our lives, may their faith increase as our love for You increases. Amen.
Mary, Mother of Faith, pray for us.
