"As Many as touched Him were made Well"
Reading Assignment For February 15th -21st
Psalms 44-50, Genesis 31-35, Mark 3-7

Our reading this week will take us at some point to Mark 6:53-56. In verse 56 we read that, "Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well." If we want to be made well spiritually, let us draw near day by day and touch the hem of His garment through reading His word!

In Romans 12:2 we are told to be "transformed by the renewing of our minds." And in chapter 9 of Mark next week we will see that same word used in verse 2 which says of Jesus, "and He was transfigured before them." This signifies a dramatic change in our way of thinking, a metamorphosis that takes us from a worldly to a heavenly perspective just as Jesus was changed from his earthly to a glorified appearance there on the mountain. When we touch the hem of His garment through our daily reading of His word may this metamorphosis begin in us!

Read and Heed the Word!
