As Jesus went, the people pressed around him. And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” But Jesus said,“Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.”And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” (Luke 8:42-48, ESV)
Have you ever known that if you did this one thing that everything in your life would be taken care of?
We all have the ability to have our problems handled and the ability to have the life we have coming…
The catch is that our problems are not gone, we have the one who gave us life to walk with us. You see that is what happened here. Jesus and the disciples are on their way from one miracle to another and someone touches Jesus. He asks who touched Him and Peter is like “for real, dude! Have you seen all these people around us and you want to know who touched you? More like who didn’t touch you.”
But she knew and because she had the faith that Jesus gave her she came out and told Him that she touched Him. And because of that the issue she had for 12 years that no one else could cure was cured. She was cured by the faith that Jesus gave her and the belief she had in the promises.
Do you have that kind of belief in the promises? Even when it looks dark and the world is coming in on you, can you crawl and touch the hem of His robe?
What can your faith do?
