Faith Increase
We know that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). When the disciples cried out to the Lord and asked for an increase in faith, what was it for? To fight against temptation? To move mountains? To please God? The context tells us that forgiveness was the issue and Jesus had great expectations on them. The disciples knew that this expectation was beyond human strength and ability - especially when they knew scriptures demanded “an eye for an eye” (New Testament wasn’t written yet). Jesus said we must forgive our brother no matter how many times he repents and asks forgiveness. Now that requires faith!
Prayer: Lord, forgiveness can be hard. You know my heart but Your Word tells me I must forgive my brother. Please give me the faith to obey Your Word. Change my heart and mind to faithfully serve You. Amen.
