Reading: Matthew 9:27-38, Acts 14, Psalm 22:12-31, Genesis 49

Recall:
Matthew 9:29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you.
Acts 14:9b-10 And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And the man sprang up and began to walk.
Genesis 49:22-24
Joseph is a wild donkey,
a wild donkey by a spring,
spirited donkeys on a hill.
The archers with malice attacked,
shooting their hate-tipped arrows;
But he held steady under fire,
his bow firm, his arms limber,
With the backing of the Champion of Jacob,
the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
Reflect:
Faith is the key in these two healing stories. Faith was not the power that healed them, but faith was the catalyst, the necessary ingredient for the healing to take place. I wonder what part faith plays in the miracles of our lives?

Genesis 49:22-24 is a great summary of Jospeh's life. The bow held firm, held taut with a limber arm.
Respond:
God, give me faith. I am ready to see miracles happen in this world.
