Who Touched Me?

Jesus asked, "Who touched Me?  Everyone disclaimed doing it, while Peter said, "Lord, the crowds are milling and pressing around you!"  

Jesus insisted, "Someone touched Me, 

I know that power has gone forth from Me."  

When the woman saw that her act had not gone unnoticed, she came forward trembling.  

Falling at His feet, she related before the whole assemblings why she had touched Him and how she had been instantly cured.  

Jesus said to her, "Daughter, it is your faith that has cured you.  

Now go in peace."

Luke 8:45-48

In my post below, "The Sermon on the Mount", I viewed many times the video thereof.  It touched me, especially the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was instantly cured.  See post here... Sermon on the Mount

After viewing the video yesterday afternoon, I immediately felt led to randomly open Streams In The Desert Vol. 2, the date October 12.  Here is an excerpt...

"Faith is vision plus valor"

"Faith is the eye by which we look to Jesus.  A dim-sighted eye is still an eye; a weeping eye is still an eye."  

"Faith is the hand with which we lay hold of Jesus.  A trembling hand is still a hand.  And he is a believer whose heart within him trembles when he touches the hem of the Savior's garment, that he may be healed."

"Faith is the tongue by which we taste how good the Lord is.  A feverish tongue is nevertheless a tongue.  And even then we may believe when we are without the smallest portion of comfort; for our faith is founded not upon feelings but upon the promises of God."

"Faith is the foot by which we go to Jesus.  A lame foot is still a foot.  He who comes slowly nevertheless comes."  (George Mueller)

"Abraham believed God when everything witnessed to the contrary, and "under hopeless circumstances, hopefully believed."  And we are called to set our feet in the footprints of the giants of faith, and follow them as they followed the Lord." (Cowman, Streams in the Desert)

Valor (Dictionary.com) - Boldness or determination in facing great danger, especially in battle; heroic courage, bravery; a medal for valor.

Definitely something to ponder...

Praise God!
