In Mark Ch. 5:25-36. Jesus is approached not only by the lady that touched the hem of his garment with the belief that if she could just touch him she would be healed, but by a ruler of the synagogue (Jairus) asking that he come to heal his daughter. Before he could even ask though it was reported to him that his daughter had died and not to bother Jesus. However Jesus being who Jesus is, he overheard and said " Be not afraid, only believe." He then proceeded to the man's house to bring his daughter back to life.
These are just a few of the stories in the bible that give me encouragement to keep pressing on, not to quit no matter how unlikely something seems to me. Hope and faith followed by works, believing that God does hear our prayer right where we are. Are we looking, hoping, pressing, asking, believing, today for that miracle, or are we leaning on our own understanding and becoming fearful?
When we stay in God's word we can find hope and encouragement during our storms, nourishment and strength to keep pressing on, with the ability to trust in God to see us through victoriously! Chorus to a song, "Through It All", says it all. "Through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to trust in God, through it all I've learned to depend upon his word". Listen and be encouraged to keep the faith. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvIxwc90BEI
