"Faith Empowers Us to Pay Attention"

October 26, 2023 Daily Devotion: "Faith Empowers Us to Pay Attention" Matthew 8:13 New International Version 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment. In some situations, we must believe what He says despite evidence to the contrary; at other must trust while still waiting to know anything at all. Could we have this kind of faith—the kind that delighted and “amazed” Jesus (Matt. 8:10)? It’s what He wants for all His followers. And remember His encouraging reply to the centurion: “It shall be done for you as you have believed” We often want proof—some signs that the Lord will do as we ask. But the loving God we serve is true to His word. Faith empowers us to pay attention to Jesus and trust that He will make good on His promises, no matter what we see now.
