---The Hem of His Garment ~~

--"And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment."
---(Matthew 9:20) -

---"When you feel that your life is hanging by a thread, make sure it's the hem of His garment." We saw this motto on the desk of a receptionist while visiting a a doctor recently. I had not been feeling well for some time, so our family doctor had recommended seeing a neurologist. After an examination and a brief consultation, the doctor gave the dreaded verdict: Parkinson's. As I was leaving the office and feeling somewhat drained, the above words of the motto became very precious to me. I chose to hang on to His garment!

Life brings about many changes and challenges. As Christians we can find comfort and relief in the unwavering faith that all of life's circumstances are examined and approved by God's wise sovereignty. God makes no mistakes; any surprises or disappointments are on our part, not God's. Faith is indispensable in a believer's life. "But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

Many of our forefathers went through tremendous hardships and endured much suffering without any physicians prescriptions to offer relief from physical pain. Numerous modern medications simply did not exist years ago; we should thank God for giving man intelligence to devise the medical treatments available today. We also need to to remember that Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Sickness and physical pain cause us to depend on God as nothing else can. "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities" (Hebrews 4:15). ~
