What's Your Issue?

Mark 5:25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, ²⁶ and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. ²⁷ When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. ²⁸ For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
²⁹ Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. ³⁰And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
³¹ But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
³² And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. ³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. ³⁴ And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Can you help but wonder what was going through this woman's mind when she saw Jesus walking down the street? She had spent all her money she had exhausted the ability of the doctors this was a woman at the end of her rope. Yet she did not give up. The Bible doesn't tell us she accepted her circumstance and say "Well this must be the will of God" or "this is just the way things are."

She pushed forward. her only thought had to be I will do whatever it takes to get close enough to Jesus to receive what I need the most. In her case a physical healing. But whatever it is you need are you pushing forward. Are you willing to force our way through the crowd of obstacles that seem to get between you and what you need from God? Or do you fall into to the devil's trap that it is what it is and nothing is going to change?

I don't know what it is you need today (right now). Maybe you can use this woman as an example of what you should do. Don't give up. Stop accepting bad situations as your cross to bear or the thorn in your side. Instead, pick up your Bible and see what God has promised you.

Seek your answer from Him and you will receive more than you could ever expect or imagine.
