Help My Unbelief

MARCH 6, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 15 /  Mark 9:30-50

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 9:23-24 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.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Jesus just told this man, I can do what you ask if you believe. Believe! Believe what? Believe He is Jesus, the Son of God? Believe He can do Miracles? Believe He can do anything? The answer is yes to all this. The man cries out something we all should acknowledge. “I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Saying, I believe, I know you are the Christ, but there are areas in my heart where I struggle with my faith.

    This man wanted God’s help so much; he was willing to admit he needed that help with his faith. He also cried out to the only one who could help with his faith. Real faith comes from God. Friend, we too need God’s help in our daily lives. We should pray, God, I believe, please help me where my faith may be weak. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Will you believe God can and will help you?

Clean The Right Side First

MARCH 3, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 7-8 /  Mark 8:1-21

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 7:18-19 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Why is it that many come into church, stay awhile, and then leave and go back into the world? Well, there may be many reasons, but Jesus spoke of a main one here in this passage. It just may be that we have focused on cleaning up the wrong side first. 

    You see, what we view on a person’s outside is not nearly as important as what God sees. Cleaning up a person’s appearance, vocabulary, habits, etc., will only go so far in life if their heart has never been changed. However, once their heart is given over to Christ, then God will make of them a new creature. And friend, He does a much better job of that than we do.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

Which side are you more concerned with, inside or outside?

There Is HOPE

FEBRUARY 26, 2026
Daily Reading—Leviticus 26-27 /  Mark 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    In Mark 5, we find a man who had tormented his family and townspeople to the point that they wanted nothing to do with him. They had gone so far as to tie him up and leave him in the tombs. They turned their backs on him in the hope that he might die. Yet, Jesus helped him, and he became a testimony of God’s grace.

    Still today, we have those who are a menace to society. They say and do hurtful things until even those who love them want nothing to do with them. Often, society gives up hope, and they, in turn, lose hope. We must remember, with Jesus, there is HOPE! There is nothing God cannot do and no one He does not love. Who knows, they might be His greatest witness someday. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Who do you know in need of that kind of help?
Will you commit to praying daily for God’s work in their lives?

What Do We Listen To?

FEBRUARY 25, 2026
Daily Reading—Leviticus 25 /  Mark 4:21-41

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Today, we are bombarded with all kinds of things to listen to. Music, television programs, podcasts, telephones, and on and on the list goes. There is usually some sound or noise going on every day, all day long. To the point now that many people begin to feel uncomfortable if there is not some background noise going on all the time.

    Jesus warned those who would listen to Him in our verse today to take heed to what they hear. That is still very good advice for today. Who and what we listen to will make a difference in what we think and how we live our lives. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

What will you be listening to today?
Is it helping you or hurting you?
