The woman who touched His cloak thought she could stay anonymous. Jesus stopped the whole crowd to see her.
GRATITUDE
WHAT THIS MEANS
She arranged it so that she could get what she needed without ever being seen, which is what most people would do. Being noticed meant explaining herself in front of a crowd. What happened instead was the whole thing stopping so that she could be addressed as a person rather than processed as a case. Anonymity feels like protection and is often just a way of staying unmet.
If you have been handling something at the edges, let one person see you doing it this week. You can choose who. Being known is slower than being helped quietly, and it lasts longer.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Where would you rather be seen than stay safely anonymous?
MORE IN FAITH, GRACE & PURPOSE
- Josiah became king at eight years old and became one of the best kings Judah had. Young doesn’t mean unready.
- God can work with what’s left after you’ve wasted some of it. Ask the people who came back to him at forty.
- You weren’t put here to be impressive. You were put here to be faithful, which is harder and better.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
