I Believe in Him

I'm listening to this song right now... and as I’m doing that I am looking a photos from friends that were recently in Israel. Walking where Jesus walked, being in cities where he did miracles. Even at the Jordan River, where he was baptized. The buildings are in ruins but still have pieces left. The City of David, The Red Sea, The Sea of Galilee, caves where David had been hiding in from King Saul. Temple that Solomon built Meggido that looks into the valley of Armageddon.

As I was doing this; my first thought was, "How can they not believe?" Then right then the Holy Spirit brought this story to my mind. This story is about a father who had a son with an impure spirit in him. The father came to Jesus asking him to heal his son.

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” "When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again." Mark 9:23-25

Just these simple pictures overwhelm my heart. I realizing that The King of Kings was there at one point give proof and a willingness and desire to see, touch, smell and feel those places, almost making them real and tangible to me. Not that I need proof that he is alive and living and His Spirit dwells in me, but to marry the experiences could be so powerful.  My soul will be unsettled until that day I can see those places… But I am content; because where he is I am also… Lord let me never come to a place that my unbelief outweighs my belief. Have a blessed Day! Jack ~Shalom
