From Over the Hill

I was reading an article today and one verse just really reached out and grabbed me. It is Luke 7:23. How could Jesus make me fall away? Interesting thought. In the context, is John the baptist asking if Jesus is really the messiah then why am I still in jail? If that is true then Jesus' response of - don't lose faith, I can't get you out of jail because it is not part of the overall plan - makes sense. (this is the Hill amplified version) Application for me today would be don't lose faith when God doesn't do what I want Him to do.
