Daily Reflection: This particular healing of the boy is interesting in that it deals with a lack of faith in most of the individuals involved in the narrative. The disciples, who were commissioned in Mark 6 to drive out demons, could not seem to help this boy who was in need. More, the father himself expressed doubt towards Jesus as his ask was less about “I know you can do it,” and more about “if you can do it.” Luckily, Jesus loves his family enough to use this moment as a time to inspire faith. He encourages the father to believe, and once he does, the boy is healed. The boy is not only healed, but Jesus also tells this spirit never to enter him again – thereby sustaining the healing into the future. Faith can do big things for God’s family!
Daily Demonstration: Are there areas of your life where your faith may be lacking? In some stages of life, you may not lose faith in who Jesus is but can begin to lose faith in what Jesus can do. What are some things that maybe you’ve forgotten that Jesus can do? Look around your world today. Are there people in need of prayer? Are there needs that need to be met? Believe that Jesus can provide today.

The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
