Your Faith Makes a Difference -Matthew 17
Read Matthew 17:20
Today’s Truth
Have you ever stood at the bedside of a loved one and watched them suffer in despair and pain? Have you ever been drawn to make a difference in the life of another but simply didn't know what to do?
Such was the case in the story of a father who had such relentless faith that his child was healed from his days of suffering. This father recognized the power and authority of Christ. He believed that if he could get his son to Jesus, his son’s life would be miraculously changed. To his dismay, when the father brought his son to Jesus’ disciples for healing, he found that they could not grant his request.

Application
Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Jesus is the Word, and Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. Our faith in Jesus and the power of His Word positions us to see miracles and wonders in our own lives and in the lives of others.
By reading God’s Word and allowing His word to saturate our hearts, we can strengthen our faith and make a life-changing difference in the people around us.
