STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Mark 9:24
“Immediately the
father of the child cried out and said, ‘I believe’ help my unbelief!.” Haven’t we often felt like this! And notice that Jesus does not throw the man
out because of his weakness of faith: He still blesses the man as His
Lord. But neither does Jesus leave
people in weakness of faith. He blesses
us and calls us to a deeper faith-as He did to the disciples in the boat on the
storm tossed sea. How does our faith grow? By hearing the Word of God. What does our faith lead to as it grows? A godly life lived in thanksgiving to our
Lord. TBLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
