A devotional reflection on the father who believed Jesus’ word before seeing the miracle.
Miracles of Restoration
Faith believes before it sees. This father came to Jesus desperate for his dying son. Jesus spoke a word, and the man believed before seeing the outcome. His faith was rewarded with healing and a transformed household.
Thy son liveth. (John 4:50)
The man believed the word. (John 4:50)
So the father knew. (John 4:53)
Christian Application
This devotional encourages believers to trust Jesus’ word even when the evidence is not yet visible. Take Jesus at His word today. Trust Him before you see the results.
Sample Prayer
Lord, strengthen my faith to believe Your word fully. Help me walk in trust. Amen.
