Genesis 20; Genesis 21; Genesis 22; Luke 8
“Don’t
Be Afraid.
Just Have Faith.”
Scripture
41 Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come home with him. 42 His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. …
49 While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
50 But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”
51 When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother. 52 The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”
53 But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died. 54 Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!” 55 And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened.
Observation
Fear
and Faith you and I can’t have both! Fear is a lack of faith. Don’t worry about
anything, but pray about everything! And the peace of God that passes all
understanding will fill your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians
4:6-7 (Eddy’s paraphrase)
Do
you deal with fear? I do.
Every
time a fear comes to your mind or my mind it should be a reminder to us that we
are not trusting God in that area of our lives.
Application
When
fear creeps in I plan to remember and claim Jesus’ words to Jairus, “Don’t be
afraid. Just believe.”
Prayer
