6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: "Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.
7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel."
10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

Jesus was coming to heal the Centurion's servant and yet the Centurion realized the power of God. He recognized who Jesus was on faith alone. He knew that he was a sinful man and unworthy of Jesus and this surprised Jesus! (Well amazed him. )

How often do we forget the faith that must come first in order for god to work in our life?

Let's amaze God today with our faith.
