Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 3

DAY 5 OF 23

This piece of Scripture contains three incredible miracles performed by Jesus. His dominion over evil spirits, physical illness and death are powerfully displayed. Everyone who witnessed or received His healing power was amazed and overwhelmed by what they saw. Jesus comments on the importance of having faith in Him. Jairus was instructed to replace his fear with faith, and the woman receiving healing was recognised for her existing faith. The man delivered from evil spirits responded with faith after being set free. Faith in Jesus acknowledges that He is indeed the Son of God!

You and I are confronted with our own level of faith in the ability of Jesus. We often celebrate what He has done in the lives of other people but often struggle to trust in Him for the things we struggle with.

If we are honest, we often settle with a lesser level of faith after being disappointed in our own understanding of how Jesus works in our lives. Faith in Jesus means trusting that He knows best. Our faith in Jesus should, therefore, regularly be expressed in prayer so that our expectation will be aligned with the heart of God. Jesus is still close to us and wants to work in us powerfully.

Let’s learn from Jairus and surrender our anxiety before the healing power of Jesus. Let’s engage Jesus intentionally with faith when we are in need of His touch, and let’s respond with increasing faith when we have seen His power displayed in our lives.

Mark 5:34 NLT

'And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.” '
