"Do not be afraid, only believe." Mark 5:36b
What do you do when the voices come and tell you
to stop,
or that you're
being foolish,
that you're walking
the wrong path,
that you're lost
even when you think
'you've finally found your way'?
A man came to Jesus asking for help, asking for healing for his daughter. Jesus offers it and they go on their way, and then the voices come. People show up saying that his daughter had died and that he should just leave Jesus alone. He went for help to the only person he thought could help and the voices tried to dissuade him, But then another voice spoke up.
"Don't be afraid, just believe."
"Don't be afraid, just believe."
Don't be afraid of death.
Don't be afraid of moving.
Don't be afraid of being foolish.
Don't be afraid of being mocked.
Don't be afraid of the voices.
On occasion we are only found after we're lost, only praised as wise on the other side of foolishness, only find freedom by walking away.
"Don't be afraid, just believe."
+ What do you fear?
+ What have the voices tried to stop you from doing?
+ In the times you listened, what happened? In the times you fought back, what happened?
