Isaiah 65:17-21 / John 4:43-54
To talk about faith when things are calm and controlled can be inspiring and edifying.
We will share about how our prayers are answered and how God gave us wonderful signs.
But when situations and circumstances become chaotic and urgent, then our faith will be tested.
In the gospel, Jesus came to Cana in Galilee where He had changed water into wine.
Surely, it was the talk of the town that such a wonderful miracle had happened.
Then a court official came before Jesus imploring Him to go and cure his dying son.
That court official would have heard about Jesus and the miracle He had worked.
But in this desperate and urgent situation, that court official needed Jesus to go and cure his son quickly.
When Jesus gave the word that his son will live, that court official had to believe, as there were no other options.
As for us, we know that God had answered our prayer before.
When we are faced with desperate and urgent needs, let us put our faith and trust in the power of Jesus.
He will answer our prayers in His own way and in His own time.
We only need to believe that Jesus will answer our prayers.
