Healed by Faith
Mark 5
 |
| I pray blessings on you as you read. |
(v. 30) "At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, 'Who touched my clothes?' " (v. 34) "He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.' "
My Thoughts
There was a woman who was not well and she touched Jesus' clothes because she had faith saying, "If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed." Jesus asked the crowd who touched Him. He's Jesus! He should have known who touched Him, right? Well, He wasn't asking because He didn't know, He asked because He wanted to make note of her faith.
This woman had just a little bit of faith, and she didn't want it to be known either because she exercised her faith in Jesus secretively. She didn't come forward right away because she was afraid. She was ceremonially unclean because of her condition and it would have been a horrible thing for her to touch a holy person like Jesus as such.
Jesus was happy about her faith, as small as it was, and wanted to make note of it. See, Jesus can use small things and minuscule amounts to do great things and to accomplish much. Nothing is to small for Him to use. Even if you have just a teeny bit of faith, even with doubts, Jesus can use it.
Don't ever be worried that your faith isn't good enough. If you hold onto that small amount of faith, lots can be done. If you hold onto that small bit of faith, Jesus can make it grow so that it is huge and you have an abundance. This woman was healed by her faith from a problem that has only gotten worse no matter how much treatment she got. Imagine what else could be done through faith!
Stay strong in your faith and let it grow ever stronger. God is faithful toward us, so we should be faithful to Him as well.
