Our Only Hope

Luke 8:43-44 - "And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped."

Have we exhausted all our options regarding health, wealth, and security? Have we finally accepted that there is salvation in no other than Jesus Christ? Just as the woman bled out for years before her desperation led her to Jesus, many of us have hemorrhaged unbelief for years without any reasonable hope for a different outcome. However, once we understand that we cannot be "healed by anyone" except Jesus, then our desperation turns into answered prayer. The unsaved loved one comes to the Lord, or the impossible financial situation turns around, or the incurable illness is suddenly curable.

Beloved, it will often take pursuing Jesus with an abandonment that shows there is no other solution unless the power flows from Him to our situation. May we all touch but the fringe of His garment, for He will help us in our desperate moments.
