“Jesus said unto him, If thou
canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway
the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help
thou mine unbelief.”
Mark 9:23-24
I love Christmas films; “Miracle
on 34th Street” is one of my favorites.
In this classic movie,
the little girl character of Susan is precocious, wise beyond her years,
perhaps even a bit cynical. It’s these traits, in fact, that each of us can
relate to as well, as we see how Susan responds to her own turn in the “Santa
Line.” She’s probably no more than eight years old, yet she’s humoring the
adults, Santa, himself, included. Initially, she’s skeptical in believing that
he is who he says is, but begins to change her mind as she tugs at his beard.
How much more evidence, then, has God given each of us to
believe Him at Who He is? Just like the Santa character’s ability to easily
speak Dutch to the little Dutch girl in the story, how much more can God overcome
your problem?
Wherever you are this Christmas season, wherever your faith
may be, with whatever issues you possess, like Susan did with Santa, try God (Mark 9:24)! He is real!
…“I do believe; help me overcome my
unbelief!”
