Word of God says in Mark 5:35-36 - while he
was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, “ your
daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?” but overhearing what
they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “do not fear, only believe.”
In
today’s world where most of us are going through hard times and the reasons may
be many. For some who are battling with chronic illness it will be hard task to
keep themselves safe from this virus, for some who may have lost job just
before the virus will have uphill task
to feed themselves and their family, for some who have lost jobs after the
virus will be difficult to cope up.
No
matter what we are going through it will be hard to overcome without help of
the Lord and we cannot expect help from the Lord without praying.
God
clearly knows the suffering people in the world are going through and He will
not allow more than what we can bear. Now after few months of this pandemic most
of us are getting irritated, frustrated and angry and some of us are getting
depressed thinking about future.
When we
look with sight everything looks like it’s the end of the world and when we
look with faith we will see some hope that Jesus is there and He will never
fail us or forsake us but surely give us victory.
When we
are in the middle of the crisis nobody will know whether we will live or die
but only God knows and as He has promised in Psalm 91 no harm will come near us
only if we believe in His Word or else there is possibility that we may also
perish along with others.
People
around us may speak whatever nonsense they want to put fear in us but we have
to do as Jesus told Jairus “do not fear, only believe.” . If we do not fear about what is happening around us and only
believe in Jesus then surely as Jesus raised Jairus daughter to life from the
dead in the same way He will set us free from this pandemic.
Let us
not waste our time in this difficult time but put our heart and mind in
everything which will bring us closer to Jesus. God has given us golden
opportunity to change but to take final decision is everyone’s freewill.
