Faith is drawing on a power greater than your own

Morning: Psalm 80; Numbers 9:15-23; 10:29-36; Romans 1:1-15

Evening: Psalm 77; Matthew 17:14-21

Early on, Jesus sends the disciples to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons, and they do!  Now, with all their experience, they can’t.  Jesus is angry with them for their “little faith”.  Their problem is not the size or amount of their faith, but that their faith is misplaced … they are relying only on their own strength. Even Jesus himself needed prayer and fasting to empower him.  It’s easy to forget … Your own strength may be small, but when you draw on a power greater than your own, you can move mountains.
