Genesis 44:18-34
Psalms 77, 79, 80
1 Corinthians 7:25-31
Mark 5:21-43
Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came
with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told
Him the whole truth. “Daughter,” He said to her, “your
faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your
affliction.”
(Mark 5:33-34 HCSB)
“Don’t be afraid; only believe.”
(Mark 5:36 HCSB)
What are your deep personal needs? When is the last time you prayed about them and truly believed? Have you asked Jesus first to take care of them or do you go and ask someone else for help first? I think we are all guilty at times running to friends and/or family for help. There are times we try to handle things ourselves. Our world today pushes self-sufficiency and being independent. Is it due to fear of letting go and letting God manage our lives? We manage our lives and give Him what’s left over but many times there is nothing ever left.
The Bible teaches us that we are to abide in Christ. He should be the center of our lives. We are to get close to the Him. Touch Him. Believe in Him. He is the answer. Ask Him for help. Just like this sick woman did in Mark 5. See the miracles that happen when we do abide and ask and believe. FAITH.
“If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this; that you produce much fruit and prove to be My disciples.”
(John 15:7-8 HCSB)
