Psalm: 92
Meditation
Mark: This is a great example of the power of faith. This poor woman (and she was poor) had heard how much Jesus had helped and healed many; what did she have to lose? She believed all that she had heard about Jesus, and then took matters into her own hands. And, while Jesus was surrounded by a crowd, she concluded this was her best opportunity, she being lost in the rush of people. Nope! Somehow, Jesus sensed the power leaving Him. Out of what I think is a godly fear and trembling, she confessed. Remember the reading from Thursday 8/19 and the woman at the well (John 4:27-42)
