Faith says, "I trust God's character and God's word more than I trust my circumstances." Our circumstances do not define ultimate reality. Confidence in the Lord is the evidence of our faith.
Jesus met a Roman commander of between 80 and 800 well-equipped and highly trained special forces soliders. The number under this man's command was based on his rank as a centurion. With compassion and courage this centurion came to Jesus seeking healing for his young servant. Through his encounter with Jesus we learn several things about great faith.
1. Faith is specific not general.
2. Faith is built on God's character.
3. Faith recognizes God's grace.
4. Faith rest squarely on God's word.
5. Faith sees into God's unseen domain.
6. Faith can be wonderful and astonishing to God.
7. Faith receives from the Lord.
Today, it is perfectly okay to acknowledge our circumstances. However, we choose to continually confess with our mouths the truth of God's character and God's word. One day our faith will be sight; we will see face-to-face what we have known and increasingly anticipated all along.
