Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

Though medical science was far less advanced in Jesus’ day than it is in ours, there were doctors then who did their best to treat patients. But often the problems were beyond their ability to cure. This was the case with an anonymous woman who had tried everything without being helped. Yet when she heard of the miracles Jesus was performing, a faith grew in her heart. She believed that if she could reach Jesus and touch His clothing, she would be healed.

When difficulty comes into our lives, how often do we murmur and complain rather than trusting that God knows what He is doing. Even trouble and sickness can be used to draw us closer to God.

Our response to trouble reveals where our faith rests. When we turn to God first, pouring out our hearts to Him and seeking His help, we show a faith focus, and that is the life that God blesses.
