Just Believe

Today's Scripture:

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"


Mark 9:24

A boy was possessed by a demon that caused him to have seizures and hurt himself physically. The father of the boy had tried for years to find help for his son. Ready to give up hope, he brought the boy to Jesus and begged him to do anything he could to help. Jesus replied that everything is possible for someone who believes. At this point the father asked Jesus to help his unbelief. Most people, at some moment in life, find themselves saying just what this father said: "I want to believe; help me believe. "

Reading the Bible, going to church, and praying are merely activities until you come to a point in your life where you can't deny that God is working in your life and that God loves you no matter what. There will be times when you want to believe, but the situation your are in will indicate no hope is left. When you're up against that proverbial wall, keep your mind and your heart fixed on the power of belief. Remember the father's prayer to Jesus, and ask God to help you.

Cry out to God by journaling, blogging, praying, or writing a song or poem about how you feel. Tell him you want to believe. God will provide the faith you need. Believing in God means going beyond what you think you know or what you think you see. I spoke with a woman at the hospital yesterday named Betty who asked for prayer and telling me how she tries her best to do right but the bumps in the road keep knocking her off track causing her to stumble in her belief. I shared with her that believing means saying God is right and God is good even when the circumstances or "bumps" as she called them we are going through in life are not . Faith is believing even when the details of your life say give it up.

Selah people' and friends your doubt is not a weakness; it is a desire for more of what God has already shown you. God always has more faith to give you! Allow him to flood you with His love and care today and "Just Believe" when everything of the world tells you to give up.

"Peace be with you and yours today as we commit together to believe that all we need do is call on our Lord and He will make a way."
