Hosea 2: 16-18, 21-22, Psalm 145: 2-9, Matthew 9: 18-26

The fruits of faith

The faith of the leader of the synagogue is impressive, as is the faith of the woman with the haemorrhage. It seems that the Lord is deeply touched when he finds such deep faith. How often in our lives have we had to dig deep into our reserves of faith to say “Yes Lord, I believe that you can do this, or guide me in this… or heal me….” Walking in faith in the dark inevitably brings rich blessings, though not always immediately and not always the ones we asked for!
