No Fear

In my study today, God brought me to another cool passage. I'm studying faith right now. I'm looking into many areas in the Bible that talk about faith...I feel this is where God is leading me and where I need a lot of strengthening. I read out of Mark 5 starting with verse 21 where it is talking about the woman with a bleeding disorder and how she just touched Jesus and was healed. Now my study Bible goes into saying that Jesus sensed in himself that power went out from him, not merely by being touched, but by being touched by someone who has faith that he can heal her. Wow, God has so much power that we can tap into, but the thing is that I think is so cool is that he sensed her FAITH!

So, that wasn't even the main story that stuck out, but it does rank high, but Mark 5:36 hit me when Jesus said..."Do not fear, only believe." This speaks volumes to me! My thoughts can be so consumed with fear about this cycle not working, my frosties not surviving, where do I go from here, my life being childless, etc. Here, Jesus told this to the rulers of the synagogue who are lacking belief that he can raise the girl from the dead. Jesus then only allowed a few disciples and the girls parents to go with him to see her so they could witness a miracle.

Now, I want to be the one with Jesus witnessing a miracle! I don't want to be left outside because of my fear and lack of belief in His power!! I want to have so much faith and belief that I'm front and center (not that position matters, I just meant it as a catch phrase.) So here I am, studying God's Word, specifically "Faith" and praying that I will have it abundantly!
