Incredible faith is demonstrated in these passages. We see the faith of men who were suffering from terrible diseases. They were in situations in life that seemed unbearable. Such men as the lepers whom Jesus healed were not even able to associate with the rest of society. Yet, the one man who came back to thank Him knew that healing would come from Jesus. The same was true of the blind man who received his sight. When he heard that Jesus was coming, he knew right away that hope for healing had come.
Even before Jesus performed His miraculous healings, the faith of these men was shown. They knew Jesus’ power and they expected healing from Him. Does this describe your faith? How many times do we pray half-heartedly, without any expectation of anything to happen? It seems we often pray as a ritual, and lose sight of the fact that we are talking to the Almighty God! Before we even voice our prayers to Him, He already has His exact answers planned. I want the kind of faith that expects God to act. I hope you do as well. As you talk with God daily, let me urge to pray for the kind of faith that waits in expectation to see God’s answers.
