DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E
THEME: INSPIRED THOUGHTS, AUDACIOUS MOVES!
TEXT: [NKJV] MARK 5:27-29
"When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. [28] For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." [29] Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction."
In our anchor scripture, we encounter a woman who had suffered from an issue of blood for twelve years. She had spent all she had seeking medical solutions, endured much suffering, and experienced disappointment from the very people and systems she expected to help her. Yet, her situation was about to change because she received information about Jesus and allowed that information to inspire an unusual thought. The Bible records that when she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. Interestingly, before she made that audacious move, something significant had already happened in her mind. She said to herself, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." Her confession revealed the conviction she had developed through what she heard about Jesus. This teaches us that inspired thoughts are capable of producing audacious moves, and audacious moves can become the turning point of remarkable testimonies.
Always understand that what you hear has the potential to influence what you believe and ultimately determine what you do. This woman heard about Jesus, and the information she received gave birth to a possibility in her heart. What she heard changed her perception of what was possible. She had suffered for twelve years, but she refused to allow twelve years of disappointment to silence her expectation of a miracle. Beloved, be intentional about the information you expose your heart to. There are thoughts that will strengthen your faith, inspire possibilities, and awaken your courage to take steps you would ordinarily consider impossible. When you consistently feed on God's Word, you position your mind to receive thoughts that are consistent with His promises and purposes for your life.
Beloved, God can inspire your heart with ideas, instructions, possibilities, and opportunities that will require courage to pursue. Do not despise the thoughts that align with His Word. Do not allow fear to paralyze you when He gives you direction. Be courageous enough to take the necessary steps of faith. Your next testimony may be connected to the instruction you obey, the opportunity you pursue, or the audacious move you make in response to divine inspiration. Remember, inspired thoughts must produce corresponding actions. Don't just think it; take the necessary step!
PRAYER POINTS:
Father, I thank You for the revelation of Your Word.
Father, Inspire my heart with thoughts that are consistent with Your Word.
Father, Give me the courage to take audacious steps of faith that will lead me into the fulfilment of Your promises for my life, in Jesus' name. Amen!
