Topic: Putting Our Faith

Without question, we put our faith in many things and we put our faith in many people in our life. With respect to God and our religious practices, the question we must ask and answer about our faith is where will we put our faith? In what direction will be put our faith? In the sport of track and field, an athlete is to throw an iron ball called a shot put in a certain direction. In relation to our faith, where will we put or throw our faith? Will we put our faith in God or will we put our faith in ourselves knowing we are sin-covered. Will we put our faith in ourselves knowing we can make mistakes? In Matthew 9:20 - 22 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed. Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "Your faith has healed you." and the woman was healed from that moment. The woman "put" her faith. The woman directed her faith. Her faith did not just appear out of nowhere because her faith was a result of her hope and expectation. Then, once she had faith, she "put" or directed her faith toward the hem of our Lord's garment. In what direction will you put your faith?
