FAITH CAPSULE: The way out of your challenges is to see God in your challenges and He will see you out of your challenges.  

Psalm 3, Mark 5:25-34

King David stated, “LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” (Psalm 3:1-2) Like King David, the challenges that persist in your life are evidence of increased trouble. The closest one that has keep distance at the time of your challenges is also an evidence of increased trouble and your challenges are asking where your God is. Your challenges that persist and closest ones that disappear did not see any help in sight for you. David took it to God when he stated, “But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.”(Psalm 3:3) The only way out of your challenges is to see God in your challenges and He will see you out of your challenges. It does not matter how long your challenges persist but it matters that you stay on Him. The woman with the issue of blood was not identified by her real name but by her challenging situation because they saw no help for her in God. For twelve years there was no sign of help for her but going about with the issue of blood. Despite the persistency of her disease, she could not be held back from receiving her healing. She acted not by accident, but by act of faith. Physicians, rather than help her, put her through suffering, spent all she had, and made her sickness worse. God is the healing physician. In your helplessness, what have you been hearing? Which name are they calling you? What is being communicated to you in your challenges? The woman with the issue of blood heard rightly and acted rightly for her to be healed. Mark 5:27, “When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.” All she needed was to hear about Jesus. She did not question the power of God, nor did she wait to seek Jesus. She broke through the crowd and touched His garment from behind. Mark 5:28-29, “For she said, ‘If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well. Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.’” Be careful what you hear or who you listen to. There is hope for you if you will begin to listen to Jesus. Today, you can break through the crowd and move in to touch Him. He will heal your sickness. David in his own case, cried to the LORD with his voice, and God heard him from His holy hill.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His divine intervention in every area of your challenge.
