Good Morning!! Even if it appears pointless, continue to believe and have faith. One day when Jesus was
surrounded by a multitude, a distressed ruler of the synagogue named
Jairus pushed his way through the crowd and fell at His feet. With great
urgency he pleaded with the Lord to come to his house. His little
daughter was dying, and he knew that the Lord could heal her. Jesus, who was full of
compassion, immediately went with him. But on the way, a woman with a
chronic disease "came behind Him in the crowd and barely touched His
garment" (Mark 5:27). Recognizing her need, by a touch of faith, He
stopped to heal her. Just then Jairus received the sad news that his
daughter was dead. Jesus, sensing his deep disappointment, said to him,
"Do not be afraid; only believe" (v.36).
"Don't worry. Just have faith!"—Mark 5:36 (AAJE)
Sometimes in our own trials of faith, we experience disappointment and despair. It appears useless to continue to believe. We may feel the need to take things into our own hands. We wonder, What's the use of believing any longer? This is the point at which we are so often defeated,...yet this is also the time when victory is at hand. Are you discouraged today and ready to give up? Jesus would say to you, "Don't despair. I won't fail you. Only believe!" Your faith will be rewarded.
Faith expects from God, what is beyond, all expectation.
Holy Spirit, help us to choose faith over fear,
let our focus be on God and His Word. Let us not forget the promise of
God; that we are not alone, nor forsaken. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
"The
things that make God most dear to us, are not the great big blessings,
as much as the tiny things,...because they show His amazing intimacy
with us."
