Tapping The Reservoir Of God’s Power

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace”.
Mark 5:34

Jesus felt at home in Jerusalem. Among the crush of people surrounding him, he never forgot his mission. He never lost sight of the lost men and women; the busy, distracted crowds; the lonely, hurting people jostling for space around him.

In Mark 5, an unnamed woman is immortalized. F. B. Meyer explains that she had learned how little it takes to get the Savior’s attention when faith is your motive.

WALK WITH F. B. MEYER
“Let those who are conscious of the ravages of evil in their hearts—which is destroying their strength—establish a connection with Christ as slight as the finger’s touch of the garment hem, and instantly his power will enter and heal their inward disorder.

“His power is always going forth, and faith receives as much as it desires.

“The reservoir of power is always full, but very few have learned the secret of tapping it! Crowds throng him, but only one touches.

“Proximity to Christ does not necessarily imply the appropriation of Christ. But where there is the faintest touch of faith, there is an instantaneous response.

“There may be great weakness. The fingers may be too nerveless to grasp; they can only touch. But the slightest degree of faith saves, because it is the channel by which Christ enters.”

WALK CLOSER TO GOD
You cannot experience the Savior’s power by standing on the sidelines. To experience that power, a personal step of commitment is needed, a personal touch of faith. Faith for salvation. Faith for service. Faith for strength.

Simple faith in a great God. It’s not something you’ll learn by watching the crowd.

But then, praying in faith has never been a spectator sport.
