Today’s reading is Mark 5:21-43
“And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.””
Mark 5:25-28 ESV

All,
This stands out because Mark says, “had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.” We can exhaust everything we have to cure certain issues, but they can only be cured by Christ. I love the advances we have made as a civilization on health, science, etc., but all of these are possible because of God. I’m very thankful for the advances in medicine as Bonni’s excellent doctors where able to perform a incredible procedure extremely well. They have been excellent stewards of the talents God gave them in learning and practicing medicine, but they will tell you that they rely on God’s power everyday. Please pray that we and our friends bring God into EVERY situation today and cherish that He loves us. Please pray for our leaders throughout the country to be peacemakers in this time of unrest.
