“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!”
