Looking to Bless
And Jesus felt power go out from him. So he stopped and
turned around. Then he asked, "Who touched my clothes?" The
followers said to Jesus, "There are many people pushing
against you. But you ask, 'Who touched me?'" But Jesus
continued looking for the person that touched him. The woman
knew that she was healed. So she came and bowed at Jesus'
feet. The woman was shaking with fear. She told Jesus the
whole story. Jesus said to the woman, "Dear woman, you are
made well because you believed. Go in peace. You will have no
more suffering."
-- Mark 5:30-34 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
At first glance, we can misinterpret Jesus' intentions. Some have said
that Jesus is just trying to make sure others see that he has done a
great miracle. However, if we listen to the Spirit's message in this
event, we see that Jesus is looking to bless this woman for her
demonstration of faith. Affirmation abounds for major steps taken in
faith in the New Testament. Now if we can just make them abound in our
churches and families!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Loving God, thank you for adopting me into your people and your family.
Use me to help welcome others who come to be a part of your people of
faith. Use me to bless and affirm their efforts to honor you. In Jesus'
name. Amen.
