Don't Be Afraid
"While Jesus was still speaking, some of the men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?" Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe." (Mark 5:35:36) One of my writers contacted me about an assignment interview saying, "I'm a little scared, because ..." I said, "don't be afraid. Just believe in yourself ..."
Don't we all need to hear that? How many times did God, or Jesus, or agents of Heaven say "Fear not"? Fear intimidates our faith, and our belief goes out the window. In Matthew (17:20), Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith ... nothing will be impossible for you." Do you believe that? The magnitude of that declaration is not given enough consideration in the lives of Christians these days. It's much easier to leave the details of the comings and goings of life up so someone, or some thing else around us. Instead of belief building exercises, we open ourselves up to negative input from all fronts with the media leading the way. But Jesus says, "don't be afraid; just believe." What can you do to enhance your belief today? The more you believe in Jesus and His intentions for you, the less you'll fear; especially when it's an outcome that hasn't happened yet.
