In Touch Devotional Charles Stanley 13 February 2022 | Confessing the Truth

The woman with the bleeding disorder comes across as confident, and sometimes that’s the benefit a confession of faith provides: assurance of who God is. But it’s also possible her words were spoken more like a prayer or desperate hope to be fulfilled—not unlike the seemingly contradictory statement of the boy’s father. But even as prayers, both of their declarations reveal faith that could serve as an anchor during hardship. And the same is true for us. When we’re feeling lost or hopeless, a confession of faith can ground us, whether we’re confident of who God is or hopeful about how He’ll work in our life.

Think about it

• Despite all that is going on in your life today, what do you know to be true of God?

Bible in One Year: Numbers 14-16
