Stop, do it

Isaiah 48:1-11
Psalms 41, 52
Galatians 1:1-17
Mark 5:21-43

Mark 5:21-43


A spectacular healing, a little girl brought back from the dead to her parents. But it is always the healing that takes place on the way to the headliner that gets my attention. Jesus, busy on a mission and a woman who cannot ask him for help because the healing she needs is unspeakable; she plucks up the courage to touch his clothing because she has the faith that the slightest of contacts with Jesus will restore her to health and cleanness.
How often have I wanted to say or do something but not had the courage to speak or step forward, even when I thought it was God's desire. God is always willing to hear, more than that, to intervene in our lives if we have the faith to ask.
