have great faith. She had a little touch. But with a little touch
and a great Savior…; she didn’t touch the garment, she touched
the Lord. The reason I know that is because at the cross the
soldiers gambled for the garment. They had the whole garment
and not just the hem. They walked away with His whole robe.
What’s the difference? When she touched it, Jesus was in the
robe. That’s faith; touching Jesus; willingness to touch Jesus!
You might say that it doesn’t feel like enough but it will have to
be. He’s sensitive. He’s great and He can hear you and feel you.

Bible study is like the garment. If Christ is in it, it’s
wonderful. Fellowship is wonderful if Christ is in it. Ministry is
wonderful if Christ is in it. Any kind of service is wonderful if
Christ is in it. But what is church without Him? What are the
ordinances without Him? I can relate to a God that I can’t see
but He is praying for me and has promised that we are going to
the other side. I can relate to a God who is willing to do all kinds
of miracles for me but then I don’t need faith. I can relate to a
God who is walking by and letting me know that it is Him and
that it is under control. The Lord will always deal with you where
you are.

If you fail, He won’t forsake you. He wants you to trust
an invisible God. But if you struggle, He’ll come. He wants to
pass by but if you need Him on the boat, He’ll come on the boat.
If you have so little faith, you have a sensitive Savior who feels.
How do I know if I’m trusting the Lord? It’s when I reach out
with my little faith to a sensitive Savior. This is a great
foundation.

Father, thank You so much for Your word. Thank You
that we don’t have to have faith in our faith but we can trust the
Living God. Thank You for Your patience with dealing with us
where we are. Teach us the lesson of the loaves, we ask in Jesus’
name. Amen
