Do Not Be Afraid Only Believe

 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well” - Luke 8:50.

               Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue begged Jesus to come to his house as his only daughter was sick. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying - Luke 8:41,42. On the way, Jesus healed the woman who had bleeding for twelve years.     

           Jesus came to know that Jairus’ daughter is dead while he was still speaking with the woman. He told Jairus not to be afraid but only to believe when. While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore - Luke 8:49. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7. I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live - John 11:25.

             Miracles happen as we do not fear but only believe. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened - Luke 8:54-56. Everything is possible for one who believes - Mark 9:23.                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us not to be afraid of any situation but to only believe. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
