—Mark 9:14-18
by: Steven James.
When we exercise faith, we must first be willing to face reality. This father had a real dilemma. His son was demon possessed and in a very bad way. He also had a real desire. He wanted his son to be whole again and therefore wasn't willing to let reality roll over him. He believed that his reality could change. This father faced real disappointment and disillusionment at how things were going. He brought his boy to the disciples, but they could do nothing. It is in these realities that we must get real with Jesus. Only then can he get real with us.
