The voice of faith

[The Glory Unveiled ]

She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” [ Matthew 9:21 NIV ]

The woman with the issue of blood had tried every available solution, every prescription known in her day to no avail. Finally, she reckoned that only Jesus could help her out of her condition. After all was said and done, she realized that only Jesus could help her. And so, she came to that place of decision and she said the words of our anchor verse of scripture to herself. Her reasoning was strange but it gives us an insight into her faith. This was a woman who had been trying alternate medicine and who sought healing from anywhere she could find it, even diabolical sources. And so, before she came to Jesus, she must have done her homework, finding out all the things that Jesus was capable of and had done. She investigated the power of Jesus and was convinced that if only she touched Jesus’ garment, she will be healed. This was why she said emphatically, “I will be healed” even before there was anything to collaborate her faith and confession. We could clearly perceive her attitude from her conviction and confession. Attitude is the expression of one’s mental and physical convictions that influence their actions. We noticed that, she didn’t wait for another person’s confession nor moved because someone else said anything. She moved because she was convinced herself. A lot of the things we seek are hiding from us because we are making our moves based on the convictions of others and not our convictions. Our convictions give a voice to our faith. So, before you make your move, what is your conviction saying?
