YE OF LITTLE FAITH

YE OF LITTLE FAITH Today in Mark chapter 4 We read about Jesus CALMING the storm On the water But Jesus can also HEAL the storms of our life If we but give him a chance And have a LITTLE FAITH “Leaving the crowd- The disciples took Jesus with them In the boat Just as he was And other boats With him” Mark 4:36 Thank God- Jesus was with the apostles To CALM the storms On the water Thank God- Jesus is HERE To quiet the storms of our life With just a little faith Ye of little faith “Early in the morning They left For the desert of Tekoa As they set out- Jehoshaphat-stood and said, 'Listen to me- Judah and people of Jerusalem- HAVE FAITH in the Lord your God And you will be upheld Have faith in the prophets And you will be successful'” 2 Chronicles 20:20 And in chapter 15 Of Matthew We read about the FAITH Of a Canaanite woman- “Then Jesus said to her- 'Woman you have great faith Your request is granted'” Matthew 15:28 And back to Mark-chapter 4 For a moment “He got up and rebuked The man and said to the waves- 'Be quiet-be still' Then the wind died down And it was completely calm” Mark 4:4-39 “He said to his disciples, 'WHY are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?'” Mark 4:40 YE OF LITTLE FAITH And what about me and you And our problems In this 20th/21st centuries PROBLEMS of health And chronic illness Problems with work and money OUE RELATIONSHIP and friendship issues Don't you think God has the POWER To HEAL these issues of ours too Ye of little faith WHERE is OUR FAITH? All we need-as Jesus tells us is: “THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED” “What shall we say The kingdom of God-is like Or what parable Should we use to describe it- It is like a mustard seed Which is the smallest Of ALL seeds on earth Yet when planted It grows and becomes the largest Of all garden plants With such big branches That the birds Can perch in the shade” Mark 4:30-32 DEAR LORD-we your disciples Of this world- PRAY for just a little bit Of your faith For with it-with your leadership WE too could CHANGE the world Make us into people of GREAT FAITH- no longer people of just little faith For with FAITH We can shed your LIGHT On this world Robert P.
