³⁵While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? ³⁶As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Reflections:

�Be not afraid, only believe.� Don�t be afraid of what? -- Don�t be afraid not to believe. Did you catch that? The Lord is saying have the courage to trust me; step out beyond your fear and have the courage to believe in me.

Jesus said to the father of a demonized boy, �If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mk 9:23).� What are you believing for, or have you stopped trusting God for the supernatural?

How about we pick three things (things that are very important to us that we, in our own strength, cannot accomplish) and believe God for them. Write them down on a piece of paper and date it. Maybe place the list on your refrigerator or somewhere where you�ll see it often. When you notice it remind God of what�s on your list.

And then why don�t we go out and tell at least three people what we�re believing God for (putting ourselves on the spot)? If we�re really believing, we will act on what we believe. Our stepping out, and testifying what we�re believing for, is our �works� that accompany faith:

�Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works (Jas 2:17-18).�
