Today's encouragement comes from Mark 6:56c, where we read these words:
" . . . And as many as touched Him [Jesus] were made well.”Every time a human being touches Jesus Christ in faith, there is healing. The entire key to the Christian life is to stay in vital contact (communion) with the Savior. This is done by faith; and it is applied (practically) in church worship and prayer. True "wellness" requires "rubbing shoulders" with God—and this can only be done by making a miraculous connection with Jesus, the God-Man.
Let us boldly come to our God through Christ, in faith-filled prayer. He is al-ways ready to heal and forgive. He is the giver of all life. May our hearts yearn to be with (and near) Him.
[Puritan quote of the day: "We would never go to God unless God came to us, such is the stoutness of our hearts.” —Jeremiah Burroughs, in, "Gospel Re-conciliation"]
