Today’s Scripture

Mark 5:27–28, AMPCShe had heard the reports concerning Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment, for she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.

Today’s Word

The lady in Mark 5 had been sick for twelve years with a bleeding disorder. She had gone to the best doctors, tried different medicines, but nothing worked. She could have thought, “I’ll never get well. I’ll have to learn to live with it.” No, deep down she knew she was supposed to be healthy. One day when she heard that Jesus was passing through her town, she was filled with expectancy. She started making her way through the crowd, and she said it again and again, “Healing is coming. Restoration is coming. Favor is coming.” When she touched the edge of His robe, she was made whole immediately.

When you live with expectancy, that gets God’s attention. When you go out each day saying, “God, I believe I’m going to see dreams come to pass, promises fulfilled, relationships restored, and a new level of my destiny,” you’re releasing your faith as this lady did. Your faith can stop God in His tracks.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that my faith and expectancy can open the way for You to do amazing things. I am reaching out and touching You by faith today. I believe that You are making a way, that things are changing in my favor, and that victory will be mine. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
