Today’s reading: Luke 8:40-56, 9:1-6

“Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:48‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To the Jews, the leader of the local synagogue was the obvious choice for a healing, especially a 12 year old girl (his only child). Yet Jesus was sidetracked by a woman with such amazing faith that all she had to do was touch the fringe of Jesus’ robe and was healed.

Why does Jesus say that her faith has healed her? Wasn’t it God that had healed her?

This gets me wondering about all the incredible things we fail to witness in our lives as a result of a refusal to really trust Jesus.

God is waiting for us to take Him and His Word seriously.

Increase our faith, Jesus!
