Scripture:
“‘If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her customary impurity, or if it runs beyond her usual time of impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her customary impurity. She shall be unclean. Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity; and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity. Whoever touches those things shall be unclean; he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.”
Leviticus 15:25-27 NKJV
Observation:
We love the story of the woman with an issue of blood. It is a powerful story of faith and power flowing from Jesus. This woman was considered “unclean” for years. Everything she touched was to be considered unclean. Whoever touched the things she touched were to be considered unclean. When she touched Jesus, she made Him unclean, but He didn’t mind. Rather than condemning her for making Him unclean, He blessed her for her faith and called her daughter.
Application:
When Jesus had to choose between the Law and people, He always chose to touch people. He would go out of His way to touch people, even when it meant making Himself ceremonially unclean. His love for people made Him break the Law quite often. I need to understand the love of God at a higher level in my life. I want to be accused of loving people who are unclean, impure and considered dirty by the world.
Prayer:
Father, would You begin to let my life impact those who society has rejected. Send me the broken, hurting and those who are considered dirty by others. Let my life be used like Christ to give hope to the hopeless and life to those whose life seems destroyed. Let lives be turned around in our church an din our region. Let those who have been rejected by society meet Jesus and let them know the love of god through my life.
Your Son,
Jeff
