Faith
Isaiah 65:17-21; Psalm 30; John 4:43-54
In the first reading, Isaiah prophesies that the sound of weeping will no longer be heard, and infants will no longer die after just a few days. This prophecy is against premature death, and we claim this grace for ourselves.
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus is seen fulfilling this prophecy as He heals the son of a court official. Jesus performs this miracle based on the man’s faith in Him. It is faith that matters; we must have faith, regardless of the circumstances. All miracles are a product of faith, not crafty manipulation and explotative means.
Beloved, what is the situation that surrounds you? What sickness torments you? Do you still have faith? Do you believe in miracles? If you do, seek Jesus, and He will give you the comfort of His presence.
Let Us Pray
Standing on the prophecy of Isaiah, I decree God’s goodness upon you this new week. By the same mantle, I pray that no sound of untimely death will be heard in your household, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
