Measure of Faith

Scripture – As God’s messenger I give each of you God’s warning: Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you Romans 12:3

Thought about what this Scripture means – I have faith.

Application to my life – There is a situation at work that has me in knots. The details don’t matter, but it is a matter of faith that has me questioning everything and is frustrating everyone. Standing in faith for healing, not wanting to be double minded, that is where she was last time we had a conversation. She wasn’t denying medical care, instead asking for everything despite the doctor’s opinions and recommendations. That takes big faith.

Now as her life starts to slowly fade we are stuck between her choice and the ethical thing to do. My heart breaks because faith is the real things she has held on to not the facts presented by the doctors. I am torn between wanting to join my faith with hers and see God work a miracle in her life 100%. Unfortunately, I know that my faith is not complete there. I believe that sometimes healing comes on the other side. I have faith that God could do either, but that is not really faith. It is doble minded from her standpoint.

I have heard a lot of deferent views “It is pride.” “She must have unfinished business.” “She should just want to be with God.” and “She is too far gone.” Facts versus the truth of God’s word. I want her to have the miracle, but I am not sure my measure of faith is that big. I know that when we have exhausted our resources that God can move and get all the glory that belongs to Him. That I do have faith for.

Response back to God – Lord, I know You have given me a measure of faith, I would love to see that faith increased in a miraculous healing that leaves everyone involved knowing You alone intervened on her behalf. I would love to see her health has made her well, just like the woman in the Bible with the issue of blood. Everyone sees death as inevitable, but Your Son overcame death and brought healing by His stripes, that is the truth. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
