Still Believing When I Don't Anymore
In Mark 9, a man comes to Jesus begging him to drive the demon out of his son. He complains that disciples couldn't do it. The boy's father says "...But if you can do anything take pity on us and help us." Now I imagine Jesus looking at this guy like "are you serious dude?" And his next words are "'if you can?'" like "how you gonna tell me that?" and He moves into "Everything is possible for the one who believes." Yeah skippy hippy it's about the faith how many times does God repeat that throughout the Bible! FAITH FAITH FAITH! You HAVE to believe that Jesus is who he says he is.
Now what happens next truly hit me. Before Jesus rebukes the spirit the boy's father says immediately "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief." what a plea. What a cry for help. That when he knew he needed Jesus and was sketchy on it he begged Jesus to help him overcome that which he does not believe. At look at our lord's reaction. He heals. So amazing because how many times when I start to sketch my belief do I just up and out and Jesus has to come running back from me. I should beg the lord for him to overcome my unbelief. I really needed this today because I was being really questionable today. I KNOW the lord talks to me because he answered the questions I was too afraid to ask him today. How great is Our God. Rejoice all you earth and all you creation, rise as He calls our name!
Heavenly Father,
Jesus thank you so much for your word for me today. That you heard what was going on in my heart and woosh you came in. Like the awesome super hero you are. Jesus help me to overcome my unbelief. Help me to overcome those hills that tire me out. God I love you so so much. Worthy is the lamb. Worthy are you lord. God I love you so very very much you are my heart lord. *hug action* love you dad! In Jesus' name I pray!
AMEN
