It's As Simple As Believing


When it comes to faith and believing, even a child can do it. Everything about our Christian walk is based upon faith and believing. I'm presently reading the Book of John and it's amazing at how many people simply believed what Jesus said to them. And if they believed the things that Jesus said to them, why at times is it so hard for us to? Take for instance in John 4 where the nobleman tells Jesus his son is dying and wants Him to come to see his son. In John 4:50 Jesus' response is simply, "Go back home. Your son will live!" And upon hearing these few words it continues with, "And the man believed what Jesus said and started home." After hearing a few simple words from Jesus the father believed what Jesus said and headed back home. There was no arguing, fighting, unbelief, or anything else. It was simple faith and believing what had been said. I think all of us at times battle with faith and believing. At times we make things or situations much bigger deals than they really are. This man's son was about to die and he believed. We need this kind of faith in our lives. We need to trust Jesus fully and then leave it at that. No worrying or anxiety, but only faith. Will you believe Jesus today? I'm going to :)
