Jesus Brought Peace for Mind and Body

He who takes the weak and makes them strong, He who takes the crippled and gives them power to walk, He who takes the blind and gives them sight, He who raises the dead is on board. That should mean life to you, that should mean help to you, deliverance.

The woman with an issue of blood knew Jesus was on board her ship of life. 

She had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague…And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5:26-29,34

It was, “Peace, be still,” for the woman. For twelve long years the storm had raged in her body; she had spent all her living trying to find help from man but to no avail. She kept hoping. Then one day she heard someone telling about the Man who said to the storm, “Peace, be still,” the Man who said, “Peace, be still,” to the blind and they received their sight. “If I can just get near enough to touch His garment, my storm will be over,” she thought. That’s what you, too, must decide if Jesus is to calm your storm. Touch Him in faith believing, for He is waiting for your touch.

What is your storm? What makes it? Self, others? What is destroying so much of the power of God that lives in you? What is destroying so much of the help that could be yours? What has taken from you the grace that should adorn and cover the whole you daily? No matter what makes up the storms, no matter how they rage, no matter who you are, that storm can be stilled.
