Mark 9:14-29 - "Help!"

Modern advancements in knowledge and technology can tempt us to think that, in the near future, nothing will be impossible for the man to accomplish. However, at the end of the day, we are still human and God is still God. We may create all sorts of products, positions, and possibilities... but we are not the Creator.

As we continue into our next section in Mark's Gospel, we are reminded how there are just some tasks too big, some powers too strong, and some needs too great for us to meet in our own strength. We need the assistance and provision of another. Thankfully, God and His Son stand ready to help us when we cry out to Him in faith.

Thankfully, He is even able to help us in doing that by granting us more faith than we can muster up within ourselves. When our faith is weak, God is strong. When our faith is frail, Jesus does not fail us. We can simply express our faith and need by way of prayer, knowing that He will answer.
