Courageous Humility Pt. 1预览

We see again, courage accompanied action and led to stepping towards Jesus for healing! But not only did the New Testament depict a courageous woman ready to receive healing she knew in her heart could only come from a touch of the Lord through Jesus, we see in the Old Testament God would heal as well. The psalmist proclaimed God heals the brokenhearted and through the prophet Jeremiah God said he would give back health and heal wounds. 

Perhaps today, like the woman we read of with the issue of blood, we are ready to step towards healing found in Jesus Christ. 

When reading today’s passages, what thoughts came to mind as you pondered the woman who had exhausted all resources? 

Are there areas where you may feel you have essentially come to the end of all your abilities and options in the natural? 

Are you hoping to encounter the Lord and experience healing in your spirit, heart, mind or body? 

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You with the hopes of making or petitions known. Some of us are ready for healing. We trust You to heal the wounded places in our spirit, heart, mind, and body – or any combination of these areas of our lives. Help us to trust You for healing as we call out to You and enter into Your presence to “touch the hem of Your garment” in our own places of prayer. As we take a closer look in the coming days, I pray specifically for healing in the spirit, where the pride may be a permanent infection, festering and embedding itself, but like a cancer not always making itself known. Bring healing in this area FIRST – so our eyes will see and ears hear, if there may be other areas in our souls needing healing. Thank you Jesus Christ, amen.
