THE ELEMENT OF GREAT FAITH STUDY PART IV
Lesson four takes us
to the third level of faith which is GREAT FAITH.
God Cares For You
Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."
And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him. "The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, "Go, and he goes; and to another, "Come, and he comes; and to my servant, "Do this, and he does it. "When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!"
The centurion said, "Only speak a word." He understood the authority of Jesus' words. He said, "Jesus, all You have to do is say it. You don't even have to come into my house. I don't have to see anything. Your word is all the evidence I need."
That is what great faith says, "Lord, Your Word is all the evidence I need. Things don't have to look differently and I don't have to feel differently. Your Word is it. I don't need any other kind of confirmation. It doesn't matter what the circumstances say. Lord, Your Word settles the issue for me."
That is great faith. It is also trusting God completely instead of leaning upon our own understanding as we're told in Proverbs 3:5.
When we go by our own understanding, we begin to figure out why something can't work out or why God won't take care of it. Trusting in God with great faith eliminates useless thinking to keep us grounded in the truth that God will always come through for us.
Lean upon God and you'll discover the element of great faith at work in your life.
