John 4:46-54 - Trinity XXI - October 20, 2013
Taking up the Full Armor of God
This morning’s
Scripture lessons teach us about faith.
What does faith do? From whom
does it seek help? How does it respond
to God’s word? What does faith need to
stay strong? And how does it stand up
against doubt?
We will receive an
answer to each one of these questions as we consider the account of the
nobleman whose son was severely ill and at the point of death. Let us pray:
Increase my faith, dear Savior,
For Satan seeks by night and day
To rob me of this treasure
And take my hope of bliss away.
But, Lord, with Thee beside me,
I shall be undismayed;
And led by Thy good Spirit,
I shall be unafraid.
Abide with me, O Savior,
A firmer faith bestow;
Then I shall bid defiance
To every evil foe. Amen.
