"So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith."
This is an appropriate enough line to catch my eye today. Not just because I am STILL sick and STILL trying to get over this ridiculous illness that has officially laid me up for over a week (even if I was in denial the first several days).
But because there are many people in my life just now whom I wish God or some prophet would lay their hands on to heal. That I pray desperately will be all right.
But I don't really believe in that kind of miraculous intervention. I haven't been able to handle believing in it since I prayed for my father not to die.
But here it is: the exception to the rule of Jesus not performing mighty deeds. No grand lessons or parables, no feeding of the five thousand...but He was still able to heal. Despite their lack of faith.
Oh how I pray that He will still heal those who need it despite my lack of faith.
