Mark 9:23 – Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Jesus told this father that it was not a question of His ability to heal, but of the father’s ability to believe. Faith in the living God is always rewarded and there is never a case that is too difficult for Him. Jesus took up the father’s words of doubt, “If You can,” to show that the point was not His ability to heal the boy but the father’s ability to trust in God who can do what is humanly impossible. Jesus then challenged the father not to doubt. Faith sets no limits on God’s power and submits itself to His will.

Challenge:

What was the last thing you doubted God would do in your life? As a Christian, you need to have the faith that God can do anything and that God wants to do good things for you. Your challenge this week is to believe in God even when you do not feel like believing or when you see circumstances are not favorable for you. Allow your faith to be stretched this new year and believe God is going to do amazing things through you and for you. You may not get exactly what you want but be assured you will get what you need based on the Lords perfect will for you. God bless you this week and have a Happy New Year.
