ONLY BELIEVE 

‘’As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.’’ Mark 5:36 KJV

 

 

Have you come to the realization that though the Christian life is full of trials, it is non-the-less progressive? It is from grace to grace and from glory to glory. It does not matter what contradiction you see or experience, it can only get better for the believer. That is why I know that though you may be going through certain difficult situations right now, refuse to accept defeat. Keep trusting God because nothing can stop your celebration. The real question however is: do you really believe God? Do you really believe His promises concerning you in His Word?   

 

 

One area where I have noticed we find it difficult to believe God is in the area of timing. We have our own time table when we think certain things ought to have happened in our lives. Remember that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is but like a day in His sight. This means that God is not controlled by time. He does not live in time. You are the one that lives in time and so certain things can only happen at His own appointed time. 

 

 

I come today to remind you that the God you serve is still faithful, just and righteous. Psalms 36:6 declares that ‘’His righteousness is like the great mountains’’ in other words, He cannot renege on what He has said concerning you. You can stake your life on what He has said because He is dependable. Men may have laughed at you, mocked or ridiculed you but I encourage you to hang in there because God will give you cause to laugh. Those that laughed at you are coming to laugh with you.
