Mk.5:26,27 – And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
Sometimes it pays to get desperate. Just ask the woman in the Bible who had the blood flow problem, she had tried everything and exhausted all of her resources yet nothing helped. Her money was all gone and she had run out of options, until she heard about Jesus. In her heart she knew this was her last shot. If Jesus couldn’t help her she was done, nowhere else to turn. Sometimes that is what it takes to get our miracle. When all hope is gone we turn to the anchor of our hope, Jesus of Nazareth. Her is how Kathryn Kuhlman describes this moment.
“Lydia had an overwhelming need of the Lord’s help. And, that need being so great, all lesser things were relegated to lesser places in her consideration. Her consuming thought was for the healing of her body. In other words, she was desperate about the matter. She did not approach the Lord with the idea that if He healed her that it would be wonderful, and if He did not, she would not be too much surprised or disappointed. Her need was far too great to be trifled with. She already knew that men could not help her. She went to the Lord with her whole heart and mind, as well as with her poor, disease-wracked body. That is the way to touch the Lord—with a whole heart and a mind focused on Him performing the miracle. No, Lydia had no other hope. All else was gone. It was Jesus and Jesus only. While not many of us seem to reach that place in the concentration of our need and our faith, those who do so will surely reach the Lord and feel His touch.”
This may be exactly what you need in order to receive your miracle, to come to that place where Jesus is your last and only hope. Desperation can turn into faith when you finally put your sights on Jesus, after all He has had His eyes on you all along. So let today be your day, He has done it for others why not you? If you are in a place where nothing a doctor or a therapist can do will make you whole then turn your desperation into faith. One touch and you will be well on the way to recovery.
