Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief! Mark 9:23-24 (NKJV)
We know that with God all things are possible. We know that God loves us and that He has good plans for us. We know that no matter what happens, surprising us, it never surprises God. We believe and know that God is in control. However sometimes when times are tough, when things aren’t working out the way we planned, or we are just overwhelmed, we start to doubt.
We start to think that our situation is impossible. We’ve tried everything, exhausted our resources and we look around seeing our hopelessness. We start to think that either God can’t help us, or else He must not care enough to. We find our self desperate in the valley of doubt. At this point we have but two options; we can give up and wallow in our self pity, never seeing things changed, or we can cry out to God like the father in Mark 9, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”.
God will honor our faith in Him. Remember, the Bible doesn’t teach that great heaps of faith causes Heaven to be moved and things to be changed. Instead it tells us that it takes just a little faith; mustard seed faith! Put your belief and faith in God with all you have and He will help your unbelief. Then one day He will say to you, “Enter in my good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over few things, I will make your ruler over many.”.
