Only Believe

And as soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. Mark 5:36

Fear and doubt plague our lives from beginning to end, yet the antidote is so simply given us here: only believe. Simple. Not easy. As a matter of fact, learning to just trust is a life-long process. This is a journey never completed in this life, but one we must embark on if we ever want relief from the doubt and the fear. It's a decision we must make often and one that never really becomes second nature or easy to make, this choice of faith over fear and belief over doubt. I cannot and will not tell you you will ever "arrive" and become a person of immense and unwavering faith; I can pretty much guarantee you will not. But I can tell you this: if you don't start down the road by choosing to trust Him for today's trial, you're that much further from that person. Faith is a choice. So is fear. Which will be yours?
