Matthew 9:18-26

18While he was thus speaking to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." 19And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20And behold, a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment; 21for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well." 22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well. 23And when Jesus came to the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, 24he said, "Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26And the report of this went through all that district.

What touched my Soul

Jesus makes all sorts of miracles in our lives.

The large minority are miracles like the ones Matthew refer here in the gospel. The large majority of them we don't even realize exist as we are so focused on running around with our lives.

“... but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

what huge faith this man had in Jesus. We know later that Jesus raised the girl from the dead.

Large is the reward for those you have faith and trust.
