Crooked Faith


Still, many in the crowd put their faith in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?"
[Jn 7:31]


Forgive me, Lord! Do I say I have faith yet look for proof in performance? Are my beliefs conflicted as such? To say I believe but expect more - different? Speaking yet questioning?

You have already accomplished the impossible, the miraculous. Conquering death and restoring mankind's standing with a Holy God. You are the "Yes" and the "Amen" of God - there is none other.

They "put their faith in you" -- but not in all of who You really, fully are. They believed but wrongly. They believed but still watched and waited for one to deliver them. And what of me?

In the crowd, they believed but before others they wavered, wondered. They believed it but did not proclaim it. Couldn't testify boldly to truth. Reservedly held back, "just in case..."

How often do I? Search me, Lord, and continue Your good work in me.


Exalted Lord Jesus; From everlasting You are God. Yes, Son of Man - but there is none like Thee. You alone are all that is God and man. I come with an imperfect understanding and shallow view asking that You make these crooked places in my faith straight.
