This portion of scripture speaks of the faith of four friends who were willing to see their friend healed against all odds. Nothing seemed to be in their favor, but they believed until the end. Jesus healed this paralytic man by seeing the faith of his friends. They made this sick man pass through the roof of the house where the Lord was preaching, just to bring him before Jesus.
Everything we have to do, under certain circumstances, is an act of faith. If we say we have faith but don't put it into practice, then our faith is dead. We must demonstrate our faith in God through our actions. Against all impediments, those four men let their friend in from the roof. There was a large crowd inside the house, but this did not hinder their faith. They tried in every way to bring their friend to Jesus.
We must be willing to do anything to demonstrate our faith in God. Have a confident attitude and continue to believe in God regardless of the circumstances you are experiencing.
Together we pray to the Lord telling him: God of heaven, thank you for how Your word encourages me. I want to trust only in You. Help me overcome everything with Your help. In the name of Jesus... Amen!
With love, Ivano Salerno
