Scripture for today

Mark 9:23-24 AMPC

And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes! At once the father of the boy gave [an eager, piercing, inarticulate] cry with tears, and he said, Lord, I believe! [Constantly] help my weakness of faith!

You know when I read this passage of the scripture I had compassion on the father of the boy. I started imagining how long it took him to come to Jesus and not finding Jesus he turned to his disciples for help. The disciples tried their best but the demon didn't leave the young man. I started to ask why? There were several reasons why, but the major reason was the fact that the boy's father had a great level of unbelief. The man had seen how his son suffered in the hands of this terrible sickness. To him there was no hope in sight.

I have come to realize that when the devil attacks us his major target is our faith. The father in the scripture above had come to a point where he believed his son might not be whole again, so Jesus had to deliver him first before his son. The scriptures say that anything is possible to him that believes. Any height of excellence is possible if you believe.

Whatever you want from life you can get as long as you believe. Immediately the man believed his son will be healed, his son was healed. So friends, strengthen yourself and believe.

Prayer: Father, help me unbelief.
