17.2.25 Luke 8:40-48

Luke 8 v40-48

Prayer  Lord help me to understand in some small way your power over SICKNESS

Reading

Reflection

We have noted Jesus power over the storm, power over spirits and power over sickness

Here we have his power demonstrated over sickness- today with the women with her uncontrolled menstrual bleeding and tomorrow with Jairus’s daughter

In these passages in Luke we see Jesus at work with a Man, A Woman and a Child  That includes all of us

 The gesture of touching his garment is small but the result is great The woman is commended for her faith

Maybe we need to see faith as a small step or gesture (Remember the parable of the mustard seed) which has great rewards

Response

Prayer  “ Lord at times I don’t have giant faith; help me to trust you when the going gets tough Amen”
