The Touch of Faith
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5:34
"If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole" (Matthew 9:21), It was a poor woman who spoke these words; a woman who for twelve years had suffered from a disease that made her life a burden. She had spent all her means upon physicians and remedies, only to be pronounced incurable. But as she heard of the Great Healer, her hopes revived. She thought, "If only I could get near enough to speak to Him, I might be healed."...
As He was passing, she reached forward and succeeded in barely touching the border of His garment. That moment she knew that she was healed. In that one touch was concentrated the faith of her life, and instantly her pain and feebleness disappeared. Instantly she felt the thrill as of an electric current passing through every fiber of her being. There came over her a sensation of perfect health. "She felt in her body that she was healed of that plague" (Verse 29)....
Many hold faith as an option. Saving faith is a transaction, by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God. A living faith means an increase of vigor, a confiding trust, by which, through the grace of Christ, the soul becomes a conquering power. (The Ministry of Healing, 59-62)
Reflection: In the difficulties you face today, look to Jesus for answers, for healing, and for comfort. He is just as able today to bring relief as He was when He was here on earth. The words for today are "Look and Live."
