Mark 5:35-42 We Must Come To Jesus By Faith

While He was still speaking, they came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?” But Jesus, overhearing what was being spoken, said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.” And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James. They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing. And entering in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.” They began laughing at Him. But putting them all out, He took along the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and entered the room where the child was. Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

True Faith is belief in the ability of the object of your faith. In this instance, Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the object of one’s faith and it is possible because nothing is too hard for God. Even if we find ourselves lacking in faith, we must come to Jesus and ask Him to grant us the faith we are lacking so that we may place our trust and belief in Him..

Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to you not on my merit, but Your merit on the cross and Your goodness. Grant me this day an abiding faith in You for all my needs. I pray this in Your Holy Name Amen.
