Mark 2:5
Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, "My child, your sins are forgiven."
Observation
The four friends who brought their paralytic friend to Jesus demonstrated their faith. Faith without works is dead. Jesus responds to active faith, not dormant faith. Faith has to do something. Faith brings the situation to Jesus, to see what He will do.
Application
This scripture helped me decide that I would initiate a pay reduction. Audrey and I are trusting the Lord, not the church, to provide for all our needs. We are putting our faith in action and going to Jesus. I'm confident we can't make this work, but I am also confident that He can. Loaves and Fishes are still enough for Jesus!
Prayer
Lord, you know that I am so grateful for how you have provided for us over the years. There has always been increase, and abundance. In this time of little, we know You can still be much! Please help us to be wise with what you entrust to our care, to have an open hand with all our possessions ~ including our house ~ and to honor and glorify you through this season. You are faithful, and we are thankful.
