Don’t Be
Afraid
Just Have Faith
Scripture
35 While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
36 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
Observation
There
may be times when we come to the end of all hope. Jairus had just heard people
say, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”
I
couldn’t imagine how Jairus felt when he heard those words, “Your daughter is
dead.”
Jesus
overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
People
laughed at Jesus with scorn as He entered the house. Their laughter of unbelief
and ridicule quickly changed as Jesus raised the 12-year-old girl back to life
again.
Unbelief.
Maybe you are at the point in your life where you just don’t really know if
Jesus is all that the Bible says that He is. Maybe you are at a point of
unbelief in your life and question whether Jesus Christ is God Himself?
Fair
enough, but would you at least take the time to read God’s Word and ask God to
show you whether or not His claims are true?
Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John are good starting points for your spiritual journey.
Today’s
Bible reading for me took me to the Gospel of Mark. Chapter five of Mark’s
Gospel shows us just how powerful Jesus Christ is!
Application
As
I read this chapter I was reminded me that Jesus is constantly changing lives
and that I should never give up on anyone!
When
I find myself in a bad, sad, and totally impossible situation His word to me
comes in verse 36, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith”.
Maybe that is the same Word that you need
today!
Prayer
Today I walk by faith and not by sight. You are my Lord and my Savior. Nothing is too hard for You.
