Dealing with the Issue
“And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged
him. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had
suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and
was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came
in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but
his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And
Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned
him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples
said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who
touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But
the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell
down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” (Mark 5:24-34)
Today’s Morsel: How many times
would you say that you have heard this story about the woman with the issue of
blood in the church? Well, if you have been in the church for any time,
I’m sure that you have heard it numerous times. This story can really
reach home in so many areas of our lives. This woman seems to be dealing
with an issue that has no cure or end. She is trying to find a solution
yet to no avail. She seems to be well off financially and can afford to
see doctors. But she also suffered many things from these physicians,
never gets better, things got worse. Can you identify with her? How
much time and money have you spent seeing doctors and your issue keeps getting
worse? So, how did she deal with her issue when she had no more money or
help? She heard about Jesus. Someone told her about a man called
Jesus who could heal her, and she built her faith and confidence in him until
she could meet him. This is how we must deal with our issues.
Believe and wait on God. Scripture says, “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of
reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise. For
yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul
shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto
perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” (Hebrews 10:35-39) Notice, 'for yet a
little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.' What is your
issue today? Jesus knows your need, so tie a knot at the end of the rope, hold
on tight, and wait upon Him. He has the answer and will show up at the
appointed time.
Sing: He touched me, O’ He touched me;
and oh the joy that floods my soul. Something happened and now I know,
Jesus touched me and made me whole.
Thought For Today: “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that
ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints.”
(Jude 1:3)
