Scripture portion:
Today’s Scripture Reading has been taken from the book of Matthew Chapter 17 Verse 20
Jesus told them, “It was because of your little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Story:
God and the Hiker
John was a hiker who used to travel to different places across countries.
One day he made a solo trip to a forest. As he started walking, there was heavy rain.
It was difficult for him to walk as there was heavy fog, and the path was slippery.
He continued walking and came near a cliff. It was a beautiful sight, and he started enjoying nature. In the process, he lost his balance and fell. But luckily, he hung on to a tree branch. He could not see anything because of fog. As time passed, he was still hanging on to the branch.
Suddenly he heard a voice, “Leave the branch. You will be safe.”
John replied, “Who are you? From where are you talking?
I cannot see anything!
Voice, ”I am God.”
John, ”God? No, I do not believe that you are God.”
Voice, ”My son, how will you believe me then?”
John, “You save me first. Then I will believe you.”
Voice, ”Okay, leave the branch.”
John, “No, I cannot because I do not have faith in you!
After that, he could not hear anything. He continued holding on to the branch.
A snake on the tree bit his hand, and he fell to the ground. But nothing happened to him as he was hanging just 3 feet above the ground. He noticed a snake bite mark on his hand. He started running towards the village for help. As he moved closer, he fell and was unconscious.
One of the villagers rescued him and took him to the hospital. John opened his eyes and realized he was in the hospital.
He talked to himself, “God told me to leave the branch to save me from the snake. But I did not believe him. Yet, he saved me.”
Moral of the story
Faith is a beautiful thing in our life to have. We do not have to believe everything, but at the same time, we need to have trust in certain things. God sometimes lends his helping hand in one or the other way. We have to hold on to his hand and move forward.
Thought for the Day:
“Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable and receives the impossible.”
Let us pray:

We pray for the sick and needy, heal and provide for them dear Lord.
We ask this prayer in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Let us continue with The Lord’s prayer….
