Observation: This woman had so much faith in Jesus that all she felt she needed to do was touch his cloak and she would be healed. She trusted so much in his power that all she wanted to do was touch a piece of his garments. That's some pretty hefty and amazing trust and faith. It's also an amazing testament to Jesus' power. Luke's account tells us that Jesus felt the power go out of him and that when she touched his garments she was instantly healed. The faith and power wrapped up in this small section of the Bible are amazing to me. Because of her faith, she is healed.
Application: Sometimes I wish I had the faith that this woman had. I confess it's hard at times to have that much faith and trust in something that I can't see; but I know it's there. More often than not I trust that He's there... listening and directing, but at times it can be tough. I wonder if this lady thought that too. Either way, she didn't give up hope or faith... I need to be more like her and continue to hold the faith.
Prayer: Much like the lady in this story, help my faith to heal me and nurture growth throughout my life. Thank you for who you are and all you do.
