'One day Jesus went to his hometown. While he was there, he shared an old testament scripture. After he read the scripture, he told them that he was the fulfillment of that scripture! Although they were amazed at his teaching, they held on to their previous ideas of Jesus and refused to accept that he was indeed God’s Son and Messiah. They became stubborn and proud, took offense at his message. He told them that, even though they will wanted him to heal people like he did in Capernaum, he could not do it. He revealed that it was because of their lack of faith that they would not see or benefit from what he could do. Faith is what energizes the work of God in your life and in the lives of those around you. Faith is not a feeling but a choice to act upon the promises and confidence in the character of God. God has chosen to only work when people exercise faith. How is your faith? Do you want to see God move? God is looking for people full of faith. People who willingly live by faith trusting in His promises and not by sight. Read Hebrews 11:6.'
