Luke 8:40-48
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. As Jesus went, the people pressed around him. 43 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. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 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!” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47 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. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”
Seeking out physicians to find the cure. I can relate. Falling down before him. I can relate. Healing by the touch of the Lord Jesus Christ. I can relate. To have faith and go in peace. I can relate.
Psalm 91:1-6
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Dwelling in the shelter of the Lord. I can relate. Crying out “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” I can relate. Finding refuge under his wings. I can relate. Not fearing the terror of the night nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. I can relate.
Through the grace of the Lord I will be healed. Through the strength of he who carries me, I rest in peace. Through the words of truth, I find wisdom. Through prayers of thanksgiving I find hope.
Friends, I pray that you find healing today and in those yet to come. I pray that you find peace in the Lord and in knowing that through Him all things are possible.
Have a great week!
Nothing like a good prayer to start the week. Amen!
