Matthew 8:9-10
Faith
For I also am a man under authority, with soilders under me; and I say to this, Go! and he goes, and to anouther, come! and he comes, and to my slave, do this and he does it. 10 Now when jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who were folling, ‘truly I say to you, i have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.
This soilder was a man of great Faith and Jesus was very pleased with this. The centurion understood that Jesus like himself, was under authority. All christ had to do was speak the word and the disease would obey him like the soilder obeyed his officer. This to me is great faith, he believed in jesus and his authority and it is worth noting that only those who are under authority have the right to exercise authority. Humble souls are made more humble by christ’s gracious dealings with them. We all should be to God; we must go and come according to the direction of his word and the disposals of his providence. I once was in this very toxic relationship, i moved out of state to Raleigh Nc, and i thought i was free, like i could feel and accomplish anything. Until i met this guy, we dated for two years and it was the most painful two years of my life. Instead of me relying on God and having faith in him , i felt like i was on top of the world only living for this guy doing evetrthing i could do to apease him. I didnt live my life in Gods world and because of this the guy i cherished so much crushed me. It’s like he tied cement block's to my ankles only to watch me drown. He who stripped me of my beauty only to strike me with his venom. Yet i lay there hoping to end this misery, to grasp onto life with my frail hands, let go, leave her you dammed soul, isn't this enough? No it wasnt enough, he drowned her did the unspeakable; he broke her until she has no love left. As if him beating her wasnt enough. Maybe i deserve this, or maybe im used to being the victim. Im used to seeing my blood in a puddle. who will love me for me? the question of survival, her soul is dammed. what is there to live for, who can she live for? not the mysterious muse, nor the satanic being.... I should live for HIM, or so they say. They say, I'm worth it, reach for the stars don't look at the ground, make sure your house foundation isnt flat. Just let it roll off they say, you are worth more than gold. and yet I'm struggling to feel this, struggling to see it. Begging HIM to take control of my life. Love is what is what i need and faith in him is what i will breath.
My application would be just to simply read more verses on trust and faith. Today I read Luke 7:50 And he said to the women “your faith has saved you, go in peace”.
