April 29, 2009 Lack Of Faith
Today’s Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 4; Psalm 139; Matthew 15
Scripture Focus:
Matthew 15:8 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?”
Observation:
In yesterday’s Bible reading, Jesus marveled at the faith of a humble Canaanite woman. In today’s Bible reading Jesus says to his disciples, who had experienced Jesus’ miraculous provision of loaves and fishes twice and should have known better, “O you of little faith,” because they thought he was upset with them for not bringing along enough food.
Application:
Faith must remain fresh. I can experience God’s provision at one or more points in my life, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I now have the faith I need for today.
Prayer:
Open my eyes, dear God, to truly see you as you are—strong enough to care for every need of mine today!
