My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

SEPTEMBER The Fifth FAITH AND RIDICULE

MATTHEW ix.18-26.

And, so one man's faith is more than a match for many people's scorn. The steady trust of the ruler was not shaken by the rude flippancy of the artificial mourners, and his daughter was brought from the dead. |This is the victory that overcometh, even our faith.| Everything bows, like fragile reeds, before the march of a victorious faith. Scorn, and hatred, and all manner of devilry, and death itself, all lose their power in the presence of a belief which remains steady and steadfast. |Said I not unto thee that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?|

And what an infinite reservoir of power is waiting to be tapped by the hand of faith! A ruler believes and his daughter is vitalized. A poor woman, bent and broken, reaches out her thin, frail hand, and lo! she is erect and graceful as the pine! And |my sufficiency is of God!| All that I may need is in the same wonderful reservoir of grace. That healing flood is like the ocean fulness, and it will fill every bay, and cove, and creek in the wide-stretching shore of human need.

|The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain,
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.|
