Today’s Verse is Matthew 9:29
“According to your faith let it be done to you.”
Sometimes the Bible teaches us things in the overlooked words on a page. Look at today’s verse. Two blind men were following Jesus. Since it was Jesus and they were blind, you know what they wanted from him. Of course, he healed them. Jesus didn’t just restore their sight, he gave them these words of wisdom, “According to your faith let it be done to you.”
The Bible is filled with examples of “according to your faith let it be done to you.”
Two great examples of this:
When Israel crossed the flooding river to enter the promised land, Joshua tells us, “The Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing.” – Joshua 3:15-16. Only after their feet touched the water’s edge, did the river dry up.
Ten lepers came to Jesus for healing. When Jesus saw them and decided to heal them, “he said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed.” – Luke 17:14 When were they healed? It was only after they started their journey to the hope.
Do you get the theme? Life’s blessing come when you march toward the water. They come after you start your journey to hope. It takes faith to do these things, but remember: Blessings only come “according to your faith.”
