The Reach


I am grateful for the biblical account of the hemorrhaging woman who reached through the crowd to touch the edge of Jesus’ robe.   This ungraspable God whom she went for, even though the news hadn’t been good elsewhere, her money was spent, and so was her body.  But something in her spirit wasn’t ready to give up.  Maybe it had waffled in hopelessness over the last twelve years, but something flickered alive again as news came that He was nearing the town.  She’d go take a look.  And when she did, somewhere inside her that bit of hope flamed up into courage and she’d pressed in.  She’d reach for Him.  And oh, dear Lord, she’d touched God. 

Whatever your limitations and need are today, He is the God who comes near.  Keep reaching.
