Only Believe


One day a man by the name of Jairus fell at Jesus' feet. He and his wife were in serious trouble. Their little daughter was lying at the point of death. Everything they had tried had failed, but they knew that if they found Jesus, she would be made whole.  When they finally found Jesus, he implored him to come with them to help his daughter. "...he fell and pleaded earnestly with him, "My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live. So Jesus went with him," (Mark 5:22-23) This is the same Jesus that has come into your life today.  The same Jesus that said, I so loved you that I will go to the cross for you.  "While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead", they said. "Why bother the teacher anymore?" (Mark 5:35) Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid, ONLY BELIEVE."  

If we ONLY BELIEVE, we will see what God will do for those when circumstances seem impossible or when our hopes and dreams seem to be going up in smoke and our back are up against the wall. We know that all things are possible if we Only Believe. God is rich to all who call upon Him. What possibilities lie ahead in our lives if we would just only believe in the divine presence of God?  For God is with us through the power of His Spirit.  If only you would dare to rise and say that even though it may appear to be insane, I will Only Believe.  Even though it looks to be impossible, I will Only Believe. This is our year to establish a mindset that will refuse to doubt, knowing God will move in an atmosphere of belief.
