Luke 7:1-10
Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Luke 7:7

Here is a story that teaches us the need to trust the Lord: “A blind beggar, led by his dog, vainly sought to cross a
busy London street. Thousands passed, but none offered to help. A carriage, drawn by a pair of greys, stopped near the place. A gentleman stepped out, and as he was entering a building, saw the man and his dog.

In a moment he was at the blind man’s side. “Give me your hand, and trust me,” he said, as he led him gently across.
“Thank you, sir,” said the grateful man, and the stranger was off. Who was he? The Prince of Wales, afterwards Edward VII. The man trusted, the Prince led him on safely”.

From the passage we read, the Centurion took Jesus at His word and it paid off. His servant was healed, and Jesus
Christ was glorified. The Blind beggar entrusted his life to the care of the stranger and he was helped.

Friend, if God says He will protect us let us take Him at His word and believe that He will do what He says He will do. If He says, “I will supply all your needs”, believe and it shall be done. Trusting God and believing His word must
go together. Our God is faithful, He will not fail. Shalom.
