Jesus is Essential
Mark 5:25–29: Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
There is a good lesson here for all of us. Not everybody has the same degree of faith, but Jesus responds to faith no matter how feeble it might be. When we believe, He shares His power with us and something happens in our lives.
There were many others in that crowd who were close to Jesus and even pressing against Him, but they experienced no miracles. Why? Because they did not have faith. It is one thing to throng Him and quite something else to trust Him. 1
Walking with Jesus
What big situation is constantly on your mind? You go to bed thinking about it and you wake up thinking about it. Will you call out to Jesus right now for His power and wisdom and strength. He will respond today to your heartfelt request. Talk to Him now.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. – Ephesians 3:20
It is our trust in Him that measures the type of living faith we really have.
Praying
Lord, thank You for seeing me beyond my weaknesses.
