There are three important lessons for us in the story of the woman with the issue of blood:
(1) Recognise and seize your moment of opportunity. This woman understood that Jesus was visiting her town and might not be back. There are 'God moments' in life when you must rearrange your priorities, overcome your fear and exercise your faith. If you don't, you will miss God's best.
(2) Be willing to try a different approach. Since she couldn't get Christ's attention because of the crowd, this woman touched the hem of his garment and was healed. Many times, faith calls for stepping into the unknown, doing something you have never done before, and discovering God's grace at work in ways you never expected.
(3) Establish a precedent for others to follow. Until this time, no one in Scripture had been healed by touching Jesus' garment, and this woman's faith opened a door for others to follow her example. 'People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed' (Matthew 14:35-36 NIV).
God is looking for people who are willing to break with tradition. He uses them to unlock new dimensions of his power so others are blessed and made whole.
I pray for you this Weekend: Your faith in God will never put you to shame in Jesus name. The miracle of IT CAN ONLY BE GOD will locate you in Jesus name.
Good Morning and do have a wonderful weekend.
