The halfbaked Bard

Do you want to get well? Jn:5:6 To the specific question that Jesus asked, the invalid is beating around the bush. When He is willing to do a supernatural miracle, the man expresses logicality. Let God do what He is good at. Expect unexpected things from God. Those are not unnatural for Him. That is faith. Believing that God can do anything. Nothing is impossible for Him. He need not walk in human's pathway. He is not limited to man's perspective. He is beyond that. Being His child it is our privilege to wait to expect Him to work that way.

Jn:4:43-54 The government official wanted Jesus to come and heal his son and he wanted Him to come then itself for the boy was very sick. But Jesus said - Go back home, your son will live. And he just believed and went back home. The moment Jesus said that, fever left him. The man simply believed. No traditional background. No previous experiences. Not according to his own plan. But his faith made his son well. The son had a believing father. The paralysed man had four believing friends.  Whose faith- aide are you? They wouldn't be able to believe, because they are in the midst of suffering. But will you have faith? Not that your faith will save them. But you be steadfast in faith. You continue to intercede for them. You tell words of faith to them. You bring them to Christ. You pray with them. You be instrumental in instilling faith in them. I believe.

What does my life reflect?  Whether you eat or drink, do it for the glory of God. 1 Cor:10:31 Image credit: https://stfrancistairua.com/2022/01/16/the-cana-wedding/

Our God is a God of miracles. He was; He is and He will continue to be. The same God who did miracles in the Old testament. The same God, Who did it for you yesterday. Will do it today as well. He does not change, yesterday, today and forever. If you believe, you will see the glory of God. Belief is upon the One who is able. Not on miracle. But the source. Not that He will. But that He is able. That He is an Almighty God. For nothing is impossible for Him. If I hope for a miracle, that is belief. But if I focus on Him, that is trust. That He would work everything good for me. That He would carry it on to completion. When our focus is on Him, who loves us. That is when we could say, Not my will, but yours. And; Even if He doesn't, like the three little boys. In front of the fiery furnace. So let us look at the person; Not what He would do. Let us look at His heart; not His hands. For the greatest miracle has already been done. Saving me from hell, by the willfull bloodsh...
