Wed., 7/24/19 Devotion (Mk. 6:56c)

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 *anyone’s* life (be he or she Christian, or not), is to come into contact with the one and only Savior of the world. This is done by faith; and this living connection is subsequently manifest (practically) in prayer. True "wellness" requires "rubbing shoulders" with the Son of God.

Let us boldly come to God through Jesus, in faithful prayer. He is always ready to heal and forgive. Christ is the Author and 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"]
