Are we in the habit of checking the strength of a chair before we sit on it, just to make sure it's safe? It seems impossible for us to do that. How do we make sure that the chair is strong enough to support our weight?
Starting from this illustration, there is one question that we need to ponder. If we believe in the power of a chair, why don't we sometimes have the same faith in God, especially in difficult times?
Of course, it is different in the conditions of life's struggle that requires faith compared to the case of sitting on a chair.
This story teaches us that faith is not something complicated to practice because we can receive the results of that faith. This officer in Capernaum understood that Jesus' authority and power were different from those of other persons, thus giving rise to faith in him.
This officer's faith not only amazed Jesus but also brought healing to his servant. Be to you as you believe, is the key in this story, which leads to the quality of the centurion's faith that Jesus will surely heal his servant.
Faith is closely related to our knowledge of God. The more we know God, the more we should trust Him, even in the most difficult conditions. What are we worried about right now? Call upon the Lord in faith and receive His answer.
