Why do you reason...?

Mark 8:17-21 NKJV

But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?  Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?  When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.” “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.” So He said to them, “How is it  you do not understand?”

† Shalom †......! Day #57. Do you know that Christian faith is not a blind faith? Let us pray. Father, we do not want to be blinded with the things of the world and at the same time we are seeing and hearing of Your great and mighty works. Give us a firm faith,  established us in Your word. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We aren't having a blind faith neither blindly following Jesus. The world's view of faith is "I have it then I believe it or show me 1st, then I believe it." But we as the followers of Christ Jesus, "we believe therefore we speak into existence." Now that's what I call an extraordinary faith! Many of us are just like the doubting Thomas, he wants to see the proof 1st then he want to believe. Friends, although we are saved by the Grace of God, and through faith in Jesus Christ, we still must work out our salvation in Christ in fear and trembling as apostle Paul said. Which means in respect and reverence towards God, to live a holy and righteous life before God in obedience to God.

Im today's verse we read how Jesus rebukes His disciples because of lack of faith. Although they've witnessed great miracles yet they still have some disbelief in them. We are also like them, most of us may be. We have witnessed the power of God, HIS miracles and mighty works, yet sometimes we find it hard to trust God fully. You may say "oh we are just humans and we have our shortcomings" it is WRONG for us to be thinking like that. Yes,  there is ups and downs in the Christian living, but it doesn't mean that God abandoned you just like that to suffer unless God is trying to teach us a lesson. We then reasoned with God for this and that and we've forgotten How great is our God and He is able to create a miracle in condition critical. Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?  Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
