"And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speak. Paul, observing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, 'Stand up straight on your feet!' And he leaped up and walked."
Acts 14:8-10
Personal faith is an important component in receiving anything from God, whether healing or salvation, or anything else. As James said, 'Let him ask in faith without doubting...For let not that man (the doubter) suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord" (James 1:6-7). That notwithstanding, Scripture is filled with healings where there is no indication of faith on the part of the recipient, both in Jesus' healing ministry and when Peter healed the lame man in Acts 3. God is not limited by my faith or lack of it. He is greater than my doubts, and my trust is in Him, not in my own faith.
Today's Thought: While faith is important, God is greater than my faith, and not limited by my lack of it.
Have a "faith" day. Love you.
