Points Of Faith

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The Bible teaches us to trust, not tremble. To have faith, not fear. Jesus does not want us consumed with worrying fear. 

Sometimes, our faith is Little Faith. Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?  Little faith is better than no faith. Four times in Matthew Jesus challenged His disciples. Little faith shows up concerning necessities of life (Matthew 6:30), concerning danger (Matthew 8:26), concerning deliverance (Matthew 14:31), and concerning bread and food (Matthew 16:8). 

Sometimes, our faith may be Great Faith. Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. The Centurion’s faith started out with great humility. The same humility is seen in the woman of Canaan. Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Sometimes, there is No Faith. Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? The disciples were asking Jesus if He cared for them in the midst of the storm.

Sometimes, you may be Full of Faith. Acts 6:5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost… 

The tragic situation is when a person has Vain Faith. 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

Reflection—Trust is knowing Jesus cares even when it does not seem like it.
