Amazed by Lack of Faith

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Mark 6:4-6 (NIV).

When Jesus visited his hometown, he was amazed by their lack of faith. Their familiarity with him and their offence at his words blinded them to his power. Faith opens the door for God’s work in our lives, while doubt and offense close it. Let us guard against unbelief and respond to Jesus with trust and honor. When Jesus looks at your faith, is He amazed by your trust or your unbelief? How can you grow in faith today?

Prayer: Father God, Please forgive me for the times I have doubted or allowed offense to block your work in my life. Help me to trust you fully and to live in a way that honors you. May my faith open the door for your power in my life. In Jesus name, Amen.
