📜 ""Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, Don't be afraid; just believe""
Mark 5:36 (NIV)
📋 God is the God of all flesh, and there is nothing too hard for him to do. Therefore, whatever we have entrusted to his care, we must believe that he will keep it or fulfil it for us.
We must let our fears vanish and allow our faith in God to come alive so we can witness our miracles. In our passage today, Jairus, a synagogue ruler, approached Jesus and pleaded with him to come and lay his hands on his daughter, who was sick at home and near death.
Jesus agreed to go with him, but along the way, he was delayed by a woman who had been suffering from the issue of blood for twelve years. While Jesus was attending to her, news reached Jairus that his daughter had died and that there was no need to trouble Jesus any further.
However, when Jesus overheard what was said to Jairus, he told Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe." With this encouragement, they continued to Jairus' house, and Jesus raised his daughter back to life. Now, consider the news you have heard and the challenges you are facing.
What are you believing God for? Just believe, do not be afraid and you will soon receive your miracle. Cast aside your fears and strengthen your faith, for your miracle shall not be thwarted.
Are you feeling afraid, or are you trusting in your God?
🔑 Key Lesson: Faith is that God never fails to produce results.
🛐 Meditation and Prayer: Lord, I believe in your word, bless me.
