In
Mark chapter five, there was a woman who had been sick for twelve
years. The doctors gave her no hope. But, she heard that Jesus was
passing through her town. Something deep down on the inside was saying,
“This is your season. This is your time to get well.” In the natural,
when she saw all the people around Jesus, she might have thought, “I’ll
never get to Him. It’s so crowded and I’m weak.” She could have missed
her season. But instead of dwelling on those negative thoughts, instead
of looking at her situation, she started reminding herself, “If I can
just get to Jesus, I will be whole.” She made the choice to turn her
thoughts in the right direction and was empowered to take a leap of
faith. She pressed through the crowd until she got just close enough to
touch the edge of Jesus’ robe. Instantly, she was made whole.
Jesus
said in Mark 5:34, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.” Notice
it’s our faith that activates God’s power. We have to press through our
thoughts, press through our circumstances, and press through the crowd
and obstacles until we touch Him.
