I wonder when God is going to do something about this problem! Have you ever asked that question? If so, you may be surprised to find out that the answer depends 100 percept on you. Theres an incident in Mark 5 that will show you what I mean. Jesus had just gotten out of a boat and people were pressing all around Him, thronging Him, it says. They had Him shoved up against the shoreline when suddenly there came a man moving through that crowd to get to Jesus. Throwing himself at Jesus feet, Mark records, he prays and beseeches Him greatly, saying, My little daughter Leith at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her... and she shall live. Think about this situation for a moment. Heres a man thats politically on the level of the mayor of the city. But hes so doggedly determined to get to Jesus that he fights his way through the crowd and clears out enough room to fall at Jesus feet. Hes made a decision--and when he gets to Jesus, he says exactly what it is: Lay your hands on her and she shall live. Let me ask you something: Who do you think is directing the ministry of Jesus here? This one man! A man whos made a decision. When he speaks that decision out, Jesus doesnt say anything. He just stops what Hes doing, turns around and follows him. In a crowd of literally thousands, the faith decision of one man is directing the actions of Jesus. What does that mean to you? It means that if youre sitting around waiting for Jesus to decide to heal you... for Jesus to decide to help you...for Jesus to decide to prosper you and give you victory...youre in for a long wait. Because thats not Jesus decision. Its yours. Mark 5:21-24,35-43
