Have you ever asked the question “I wonder when God is going to do something about this problem”

I’ve come to realize the answer to that question depends on You

Mark 5:22–24 NLT

22 Then a leader of the local synagogue, whose name was Jairus, arrived. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet, 23 pleading fervently with him. “My little daughter is dying,” he said. “Please come and lay your hands on her; heal her so she can live.” 24 Jesus went with him, and all the people followed, crowding around him.

Mark 5:22-24

Backdrop:

After Peter walked on water and Jesus told the winds and rains and the choppy sea that the disciples were to Have peace and Be still - the arrived on the other side of the sea. Immediately a demon possessed man living among the tombs in the area met Jesus - Long story short - he casts the legion of demons out of the man and into some pigs! The local residents get nervous and ask Jesus to leave!

So Jesus has to get back in the boat cross over to the other side - where a great crowd was there to meet him

Mark 5:22–24 The Message

22 One of the meeting-place leaders named Jairus came. When he saw Jesus, he fell to his knees, 23 beside himself as he begged, “My dear daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay hands on her so she will get well and live.” 24 Jesus went with him, the whole crowd tagging along, pushing and jostling him.

mark 5

Mark 5:26–34 NLT

26 She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe. 28 For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition. 30 Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?” 31 His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But he kept on looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

Jeremiah 17:5–8 NLT

5 This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. 6 They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land. 7 “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. 8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.
