Where is your faith?

He said to them, “Where is your faith?” (Luke 8:25)

“Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” (Luke 8:48)

“Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.” (Luke 8:50)

Lord, this world is a mess. You warned us that it would be. (Matthew 24:6-13)

But you tell me the same thing that you told that girl’s parents, “Don’t be afraid. Just believe. And you will see my salvation.”

Lord, I believe.

You are Lord of the wind and waves.

You are Lord over the demons.

You are Lord over sickness.

You are Lord over death.

And despite all that’s going on in this world, you are Lord of all the nations and its rulers.

So today, I choose to sing,

Indeed, God is my salvation;
I will trust him and not be afraid,
for the Lord, the Lord himself,
is my strength and my song.
He has become my salvation.” (Isaiah 12:2)
