Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-17

Matthew 9:20-22 (NKJV) 20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”

Many of us know that there is something we need to do; a change we need to make.

We have been told and it has been confirmed over and over again. But we don’t do it. We freeze, afraid to move, even though God has instructed us to move.

We pray and we ask others to pray for us. We rebuke the fear, in the name of Jesus. And still, we don’t move. We hesitate. We procrastinate. We shrink back. And we cower down in fear. It’s almost like we want God to swoop down and move our feet for us.

But God doesn’t work that way. He tells us what to do. He will sometimes even show us how to do it. But if we aren’t willing to move and go after it, we will still be in the same place next week, next month or next year.

In the end, it all comes down to this: How badly do we want it? How much effort are we willing to put forth to get it?

The woman in the verses above risked everything to push through the crowd and touch the hem of the robe of Jesus.

She didn’t care what happened. She didn’t care what people thought of her. She didn’t care what people said to her or about her. She knew what she needed to do and she did it. She mustered up all of her strength and courage, and she pushed through the crowds to touch Jesus.

And the end result was the healing of a physical problem she had been battling for 12 years!

So, stand up! Push forward! Stop letting the voice of the enemy and the fear of the unknown keep you in captivity.

Press through and reach out for Him. All it takes is action on our part to set things in motion. And if we obey, we will get what God has promised us.
