The worth of faith in a person's life is seen when it is subjected to the changes and challenges of life. Our text is the story of a father and a tormented son, a tortured home. It is the story of the agony of son and all that he endured with the spirits that possessed his life. The issues of the son were many, but the father too had issues. The father was a troubled man. He was a believer, but also an unbelief. Inside this man there was strength, but there was also weakness. There was conflict in his life. Jesus said that all that was necessary was belief. He did not say how much, simply that there must be belief. The father was like many of us. We believe in one breath, but in the next we question how God can do a work in our life. This father was a good man just like many of us; and like us he struggled between his faith and his unbelief. Faith and unbelief in the same heart is not illogical nor is it un-scriptiral. There is an unbelief that is wickedness, but that is not what this man had. This father's unbelief was weakness. Sometimes it is a battle to get from where we are to where God wants us to be, but battle we must. To get to a better place, many times it is a struggle and we must battle through it. Unbelief doubts the promise and power of God. It wants to keep us bound in our torment. God's power to work in our life is not limited by our unbelief. God can do a work in our life with the little amount of faith that we may have. Weak faith is better than no faith. Do not let a weak faith become an excuse for doing nothing. This story reminds us that we have the power to choose how our story ends. Will we keep struggling, or will we step out in our weakness and ask: Lord Help me.
