2016 Day 30 – Mark 6

Faith, Trust

Faith should be without boundaries. It is not something we have or don’t have based on our circumstances or whether we can see the end result or not. In Mark 6:56 the people showed just how strong their faith in Jesus was; And wherever he went – into villages, towns or countryside – they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed. This is the type of faith we should all have. We all know God can do anything if we simply have faith. This doesn’t mean God grants our every desire, but it means we have faith He can.

2016 Day 29 – Matthew 14

Faith, Hope, Trust

When it is darkest and seems all hope is lost, Jesus is still there. When the disciples were all alone on the water in the middle of the storm, Jesus was there doing the impossible coming to them by walking on the water in Matthew 14:27, But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” No matter what the circumstance, Jesus is there. And when we think we are alone, Jesus is there. He is able to do the impossible to be there for us if we simply believe and accept it.

2016 Day 28 – Matthew 10

Eternity, Obedience, Relationship, Salvation

Fear is a human emotion we all possess. Even the most hardened soldier experiences fear in the heat of battle. But here in Matthew 10:28, Jesus tells us not to fear those who can only kill our physical bodies, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. What we should fear is what can kill us for eternity. This can only happen when we submit ourselves to a life apart from God. Jesus gives us salvation to prevent us from separation from God. There are no excuses, just poor choices which keep us from eternity with Him.

2016 Day 27 – Matthew 9

Grace, Love, Mercy

Whoever is sure they are righteous is not saved because we must acknowledge we don’t have all the answers and our need for Christ in our lives. In Matthew 9:13 Jesus says,  “But go ahead and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Jesus is quoting Hosea 6:6 when he says, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” Jesus doesn’t need our ritualistic sacrifice. What He wants is our recognition of our need for His mercy on us and our need to have mercy on others.

2016 Day 26 – Mark 5

Faith, Peace, Trust

When we truly follow Jesus most people will not understand; even believers around you. In the beginning of Mark 5:40 it says, But they laughed at him… These are the same people who had hope and faith when the child was alive, but when the child stopped breathing they believed it was now impossible for Jesus to heal. However, just a few verses earlier, Jesus commanded Jairus at the end of Mark 5:36, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” That command to Jairus did not change when the circumstances changed. The same goes for us. Jesus commands us to “just believe” no matter what our circumstances. It is never too big or too small and it is never based on what we think is possible; all things are possible through Him.

2016 Day 25 – Luke 8

Faith, Trust

Having faith is both simple and difficult. On the one hand there is nothing more we need than to believe and on the other we feel helpless because of the same reason. With Jairus in Luke 8:50, nothing could show this more clearly, Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus; “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” We all want to do more. One of the hardest things I ever have to do is to let go so God can fix it. And truth be told, He never leaves me. He may not fix things the way I want or the timing I may desire, but in the end, God’s plan and timing are always perfect.

2016 Day 23 – Matthew 13

Grace, Sacrifice, Salvation

I love the parable Jesus tells of the hidden treasure in Matthew 13:44, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.” In the parable, the man knew the value of the treasure was so great he was willing to sell everything in order to have it. This is what our relationship with Christ is like; it costs us everything to receive the full value of the treasure of salvation.

Compassion, Goodness, Servant

Actions speak louder than words, but words are powerful just the same. Jesus warns in Matthew 12:37, For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. In the end, it all matters because of how we affect and influence others. Maya Angelou once said, “People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.” We always want to be a powerful impact on those around us. Let us strive to be powerful AND positive.
