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 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 19 – Matthew 8

Faith, Love, Salvation

One of my favorite stories of Jesus is the one with the Centurion’s sick servant and the faith he displayed to Jesus and His ability to heal and save. The Centurion was a gentile and was probably not someone who knew there was a Messiah coming to save the world, but he saw what was happening and he accepted what was possible by putting his faith in Jesus. Jesus Himself reacted to this man’s faith in Matthew 8:10, When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” Knowing what is possible with Jesus is all we really need to believe He can do miracles in our lives. May we all have the faith of the Centurion and know Jesus has the ability to save and heal us. And, most importantly, let us all know and have faith Jesus has the capacity to love us more than we ever thought possible, despite the flaws and sin in our lives.

Faith, Obedience, Sacrifice, Servant

There are plenty of people out there who talk a good game. There are many self-proclaimed athletes who can trash-talk with the best of them. But “talk” is cheap and the measure of an athlete is found on the athletic field. The same goes for the faithful believer and servant of God. In Matthew 7:21 Jesus says, “Not everyone who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Jesus wants your “walk” to be better than your “talk”. Talking about doing the right things means nothing if you are unwilling to do the right things. Let your actions be the measure of your commitment to doing the will of God.

2016 Day 5 – Luke 4

Faith, Protection, Trust

In today’s reading we look at Luke’s account of Jesus being tempted by Satan for 40 days and nights while he fasted. At the end of this time, even though He was weak and hungry, Jesus rebuked the devil for trying to tempt Him. The most powerful verse for me is Luke 4:12, Jesus answered, “It says: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'” Two things happened here: 1) Jesus exclaimed His true identity as God’s Holy Son. 2) Jesus put the devil in his place and showed His authority over all things, including the devil. When we face temptation or struggles around us, remember who is our authority and who has all control.

Faith, Trust

When Jesus was on the earth, even He was tempted by Satan. But even Jesus came to a point where He had enough. Matthew 4:10 says, Jesus said to him, “Away from me Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord you God, and serve him only.'” We will never stop being tempted, but we have the same power to move Satan aside in God’s holy name.

2015 Day 360 – Mark 1

Faith, Healing, Power, Trust

Today we read what the fuss was all about with the birth of Jesus Christ. While no one knew Jesus was the Messiah at the time, there was very little uncertainty about His power and willingness to help the needy. Mark 1:34 sums it up, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. Jesus not only healed, but He was strategic about it. He knew that once word got out about His power and willingness to help, it would be nearly impossible to move about freely. Later on we read how difficult it was for Jesus to move about, but it was His compassion and love that drove Him to the people to love and heal them.

2015 Day 358 – Matthew 2

Faith, Protection, Salvation, Trust

Miracles were a part of Jesus’ life from the very beginning. It all started with the Magi coming from the East. How did these men know the Christ was born? Did they even know He was the Messiah? But they showed up anyway through miraculous guidance. Then Herod wanted Jesus dead, but the Magi were warned in a dream not to go back to Herod in order to protect the future Savior of the World. Then Joseph was warned to take his family to Egypt to further protect Jesus from death. God protected the Messiah in miraculous ways and He did it for our benefit. Not just for the obvious reason of protecting our Savior, but also so we would know God’s hand was in it from the beginning. God loves us so much He is willing to move mountains on our behalf. Providing a way to eternal salvation was just the beginning.
