Today’s Topic: Some Things You Have to Ignore
Scripture: While he was still talking to her, messengers arrived from Jairus’s home with the news that it was too late—his daughter was dead and there was no point in Jesus’ coming now. But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.” – Mark 5:35–36, TLB
Today’s Word
In Mark 5, Jesus was delayed on the way to heal Jairus’s daughter when messengers came to Jairus, saying, “We’re sorry, but your daughter has died. There’s no use bothering Jesus anymore.” Jesus overheard what was said, but He ignored their comments. Notice the principle: There are times when you overhear negative words about problems you face, but you have to ignore them.
Don’t dwell on it. Don’t give those negative seeds any room in your soil. You’re not denying the problem, you’re not acting as though it doesn’t exist, but you’re not letting it take root. You can’t have faith if there’s doubt, fear, and worry. The Scripture says to “lean not to your own understanding.” Yes, use common sense, but there is no solution to some things we face in the natural.
If you try to figure it out, you’re going to get confused and discouraged and talk yourself out of it. You can’t stop that you heard it, but take the next step and ignore it. Jesus ignored it, prayed for the little girl, and she came back to life.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that no matter what other voices may be saying about my life, You have the final say. Thank You that I can stay in faith and choose to not dwell on negative reports. I believe that as I get my thoughts in agreement with Your Word that I shall overcome. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Forgive so you can keep your soul healthy. Let it go so that negative root doesn’t spring up and contaminate the rest of your life. You may have just closed the book on one season, but this is the beginning of another. God has things in store that you’ve never imagined.
If you had their gifts, their personality, their looks, it wouldn’t help you. It would hinder you. You are equipped for your race. You have the right personality, the right gifts, the right looks. You’re the right height; you come from the right family. You weren’t shortchanged; you’re not at a disadvantage. You’ve been fearfully and wonderfully made. Walk in your anointing, be confident with your gifts, let your personality shine.
