Daily Open Post – Who?

This week I’d like to do something a bit different, I’d like to hear from you. Today I’d like to ask who from the Bible, aside from Jesus, would you most like to meet?

I would like to meet the unnamed woman from the verses below. Her faith in Jesus was so great, she believed in His power so strongly, she just knew He would heal her, even if all she did was reach out & touch his garment.

Mark 5:25-34

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 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?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Good morning & welcome!  This is an open post, please feel free to ask for prayers, to share your story or just say hello. We’re glad you’re here.

Father God,

Thank You for the promise of another day. You have blessed us with so much we can never thank You enough. Your grace has covered us & given us hope for an eternity spent with You. Your love sustains us & gives us the courage to go on in these ever-changing times. You are our Strength & our Redeemer, You are all we need. Father, as we each go about our days, I pray You will walk with us, that Your steady hand will guide us. I pray for the sick, the hurting, the lost, that You will heal them, comfort them & lead them to Your side.

In Jesus’ precious name,

Amen
