In Luke 8:45, Jesus asks, “Who touched Me?” Peter responds, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
It is the story of the woman with the issue of blood. This woman has dealt with this disease for 12 years. Imagine living with a disease for that long. This woman is diseased, probably depressed, defiled, and we read that she was destitute because she spent all of her money trying to find relief.
Her situation is hopeless, but Jesus was there. She goes and touches Jesus. She had faith that said, “If I can touch the hem of His garment, I would be healed.”
She moved in faith, and Jesus healed her completely!
Lord, help me walk, move, and shift my life toward faith in Jesus today.
Lord, I need to have the faith of this woman! If I touch Jesus in faith, He will touch me with His presence and blessing!
Today we need His blessing!
