EVEN WHEN MY FAITH IS SMALL – Pilgrim’s Joy Devotional – October 10, 2022

Listen here or read below (You can do both, too!)

Good morning:

There was a woman who knew that her child had died. DEAD. Yet, she kept saying ‘All is well’ as she sought out the prophet who could mediate between her and God. Was her faith strong as she went in search of prophet Elisha? Probably not. But she went in search of that mediator all the same. 

Dear Christian pilgrim, the Shunammite’s story in 2 Kings 4 should be a metaphor to you to trust in Jesus, the mediator between man and God, even when your faith is small.

Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all
.

  • Edgar Page (1876)

Jesus has the final say. So, even when circumstances appear hopeless, do not cease to seek out the intercessory ministry of our Lord through your fervent and unceasing prayers. In Psalm 73:26, the psalmist wrote, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Are you afraid? Are you at your wits’ end? Is the situation hopeless? Thus, making your weak faith understandable? The saints who have gone before you have been there. And those of them who trusted Him notwithstanding, they found His great salvation.

Confronted by the Red Sea, pursued by Pharaoh’s ruthless army, and surrounded by a restless crowd, Moses summoned the faith to seek the face of God. The mighty deliverance wrought by God in that moment led to sing, saying, The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

May that be your testimony, too, in Jesus name.

Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all
.

Let us pray.

May the Holy spirit strengthen you to trust in Jesus even when your faith is small and may you experience the deliverance, the salvation, the blessings, the peace, and the joy of those who trust in Him. In Jesus name, Amen.
