FOCUSED FAITH // MAY 22, 2023
In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
Acts 14:8-9
Day 1: Focused Faith
In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. Acts 14:8-10
The man who was born lame was sitting, watching and listening to Paul do something he himself had never been able to do before. But when looking directly at him, Paul recognized this man had the faith to be healed.
Our eyes can say a lot about what we believe; when others look at us, do they see fear or faith? This man had focused faith not just restored to health, but he had the faith to actually believe he could receive something he'd never had before. And Paul had the faith to believe God would provide healing through him. When through meets to, there's no limit to what God can do.
What do you have the faith to believe? To revive something that feels dead in your life? What about believing for something you've never had? Feed your faith today: read God's word and focus on what you might dare to believe for your life. If you can dare believe it, God can do it. And that's a focused faith!
