Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed." Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you."
Matthew 9:20-21
What is faith?
The source of faith is found in God—we cannot have faith in faith itself—and it must be in Him who is the Source.
So what is faith?
As we look through the book of Matthew in chapters 8-10, we find that faith is the impetus to move us to action, the initiative to get us to the Source. It is the incentive to get us out of a dark place and gets us to the light. It is the bias for action; it is exerting a greater energy toward what's best… enough to overcome lethargy, doubt, discouragement, or any other force that keeps us in the spiritual doldrums.
Be mindful of the lessons of faith that God has for you in your life and allow the true Source of faith to intercede, as you so that your "faith may not fail."
