“And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’ (Luke 18: 8b)
Jesus poses an interesting question here. The answer to the question is dependent on whether or not we each have faith in our hearts. So, what is your answer? I would hope the answer is ‘Yes’. However, it should be more than just a yes answer because our faith is meant to increase over time.
What is faith? Faith is a response from each one of us to God speaking in our hearts. In order to have faith we must first listen to God speak. And when he does this, we exhibit faith by responding to what he reveals to us. We believe in his word spoken to us and it is this act of believing that forms faith within us.
Faith is not just believing. It is believing in who God is, his word to us and what God tells us personally. Faith then gives us certainty as to what it is that God is looking for in our life.
Reflect upon how certain your faith is. Reflect on Jesus asking you this very question. Will he find faith in your heart? Commit yourself to all that God reveals to you every day.
Prayer: Lord, I desire to grow in faith. I desire to grow in my love and in my knowledge of you. Amen
