Reading: Luke 7,8
My Verse: "But Jesus said, Someone did touch Me; for I perceived that [healing] power has gone forth from Me." (8:46)
Lord, this event makes me think of superheroes - those fictional characters so popular because of special power that enable them to do so much more than ordinary people. Yet, they always have some kind of limitation.
You, Lord, were so much more that a superhero! No limitations hindered You. It is difficult to completely comprehend the fact that as You dwelt amongst man You had to ever keep Yourself in check - so to speak. You were God amongst man! A person had only to touch You to receive some of Your awesome power - just as the woman did.
I wonder if our fascination with superheroes is an innate realization on our part that there is more, much more to our world than what we are experiencing with our limited human senses! I know as a child I had that sense - that there was more to my world than what I was seeing with my eyes. Was I sensing You, Lord?
You do so much for us, and yet we are not mindless creatures. You gave us rational minds and a will - choice. You, because You are all-knowing knew of this woman. But not until she reached out to You and placed her faith in You, did You heal her. "And He said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well!" (8:48)
And so I must actively seek You. Each day - each moment I need to reach out and touch You, Lord Jesus, for You are my Savior and Healer!
And it is only by touching You and receiving just a tiny bit of Your vast power that I am enabled to carry on here on this earth. "God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present and well-proved help in trouble." (46:1)
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
