Today we are reading Mark 5. In this chapter we read about the raising of Jairus’ daughter. “They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.”
Mark 5:38-43 ESV Have you ever been fearful for your child’s life? You pray differently when a family member’s life is on the line. How did Jesus’ indicate that the child would be okay? Does Jesus love your children? He sends His angels to watch over us and keep us safe. What is your prayer right now? Trust God to do it! Pastor Tim
