Who Touched Me?
Mark 5:31. His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”
The woman had been suffering from a bleeding condition for twelve years. Twelve long years of being tired, being embarrassed, trying to hide her condition, giving up her money for quack cures that often made things worse. Twelve agonizing, painful years.
Then one day she heard about this rabbi named Jesus who could work miracles, maybe she could see him. As the crowd moved through town, she pushed through to get near him. Surely, with so many people jostling around he wouldn’t notice her, so she reached out and touched his robe as he passed. Two things happened instantly! She was healed, and Jesus said, “Who touched my robe?”
The disciples didn’t understand. Jesus knew something special had happened. Out of all the crowd who pressed against him that day, she was special.
You are just as special to Jesus as that woman in the crowd. Maybe you are dealing with a situation that is exhausting you. Maybe you are sick, or need a better job, or whatever your need is. Do you believe in Jesus enough to just touch his robe? Do you have enough faith to just pray, “Lord, help me?”
Matthew 7:11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
Ask God to fill your need. You are special to him.
