Redeeming The Time

The healing of the woman with the issue of blood and the daughter of Jairos are a primer on faith. Faith is not just belief; It is action based on belief, and even action in spite of disbelief. It involves courage, and initiative, patience, endurance, and not listening to negative thoughts - self-talk. All these things are present in this story. We also discuss faith and the Jesus prayer, that prayer that tests our faith and rewards us when we have faith. We must learn to be like Jairos in our prayer. He walked with the Lord to the house, even though he knew his daughter was dead. No matter what we think, God knows the truth. To the Lord that girl was alive, and that is all that matters, for He sees everything as it really is.
