Mark 5:36 sums up everything we need to know in this life, Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” No matter what people tell us is possible, we must simply know that we do not need to be afraid, we just need to believe in the plan God has for our lives. Fear, in and of itself, is not a bad thing; it can protect us and keep us from harm. But fear can also paralyze us from doing what we know is right and can keep us from moving towards God’s blessings. We must never allow fear to speak louder than the Holy Spirit’s voice because God’s blessings are ultimately greater than anything fear keeps whispering to us.
