"And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching. "
FAITH is a funny thing! Hebrews 11:1 says that "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." In 2007 I was "miraculously" healed, according to my own doctor's records. My faith that I was going to be healed was non-existent as the medicine I was given to put me in the COMA made sure of that. My wife says her faith was not anything special, she just knew I was going to be okay!
But, isn't that what faith is all about! She KNEW I would recover. She did not hope or wish! She KNEW! These few people in the book of Mark who were able to be healed were in a position to be helped. "A few sick people" is all we know about them. They could have had a cold or they could have been suffering from Leprosy! But when we are sick, we look for help!!
According to scripture, JESUS could do no mighty work in Nazareth. Luke 4:24 says "And he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown." People attempt to rationalize or reason away things that GOD supernaturally does! I have done it!
LORD, work on me not to marginalize the works of YOUR hand in my life! YOU ARE GOD and I PRAISE YOU!!!
