What does faith look like? In the book of Hebrews, the author writes, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Ch 11:1) In layman terms, faith is in the ‘knowing’ the absolute ‘knowing’, that God sees me, He hears me and He will answer my plea. Today’s Gospel proclamation explains this well. The Leper, did not hesitate or imply, “If you can, do something” rather his faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God, was absolute. He had a deep conviction that it was the Lord and Him alone, who could help. He also had a beautiful spirit of surrender, giving the Lord ample freedom to do as He wills, in his situation. Are we waiting on the Lord today, for an answer? Can we say with certainty, ‘I know my redeemer lives, He will come to my rescue, He will come to save me. ’True faith also has a spiraling effect. The leper didn’t stop there, his conviction was deep, he had to proclaim Jesus to all.

Prayer: Abba Father, I confess that You alone are my Healer and Redeemer. Amen
