And as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.” (Luke 17:12-14)
Whatever it is that we face today, we don’t have to be great in order to trust God, nor must we have great faith. Our faith can be as small as a mustard seed and that will be enough to move God. We don’t have to pray better, we just have to pray. “These 10 lepers were required by the Savior to perform an act of faith in Him before they had the slightest evidence in themselves that He had already healed them. Before they began to feel their foul blood cleansed—before the horrible dryness of leprosy had yielded to healthy perspiration— they were to go towards the house in which the priest lived to be examined by him and to be pronounced clean. They were to exhibit faith in Christ Jesus’ power to heal them by going to exhibit themselves as healed, although they were in the same condition as before! They were to start to the place where they should be examined by the priest, believing that Jesus had healed them, or would heal them, though, as yet, they had no internal evidence, whatever, that their flesh would become as that of a little child!” Charles Spurgeon Our faith is our evidence.
