Only Believe
Mark 5–7
“As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.”
Mark 5:36 KJV
TODAY’S DEVOTION
Fear spoke through devastating news, but Jesus spoke a stronger word. Faith does not deny the report; it keeps listening to Christ in the middle of it. This is not a call to religious performance, but to a sincere response of faith and obedience to Jesus Christ. Let the truth move from the page into the choices, words, and relationships of this day.

Mark 5–7 presents this truth within the unfolding ministry of Jesus and the response He calls for. The selected verse should be read with the surrounding chapter so its promise and command remain joined to the passage.
