What amazes God?
I was checking out the passage in Mark 6:1-6 where Jesus was limited in what He could do because of the lack of faith by those in his hometown. Those who knew him best were blinded by their familiarity. They saw him in the light of his humanity and were challenged to embrace His Deity. So much of our culture is blind to who Jesus really is. The more we comprehend who He really is the more we should believe that with HIM nothing is impossible. I do not want the Lord to ever be amazed at my lack of faith. I would rather He be amazed at my faith as he was with the centurion who simply understood authority, applied that thinking to Jesus and settled it in his heart that whatever Jesus said would be done. Not only does that kind of faith amaze Jesus it pleases him. Remember Hebrews 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who deligently seek him. Let's strive to amaze God by our faith not the lack thereof.
