What is the definition of opposition? a resistance, something that is against you.

In Mark 5:25-28, we read of a story of a woman who had an illness of 12 years, but one day her opposition became an opportunity.

Mark 5:25-28

25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

She spent 12 years of her life searching for a cure. I believe she had spent all her money on every pharmaceutical drug and remedy that she could find. With every opportunity came defeat, but one day, the Great Physician came to town: Jesus Christ. As she pursued on her hands and knees just saying to herself, “If I but touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole,” and that is what happened.

This World has a lot of options for relief, for a quick fix, but anything other than the power that Jesus possesses can never heal the issue.

You may be saying, “I’ve been waiting for a healing for quite some time. But are you still pursuing Him, or have you given up? Just know this: If you’re hanging on by a thread, make sure it’s the hem of His garment.
