"When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?"
Mark 5:27-30
This is part of the story of the woman with an issue of blood. What I think is interesting here is that Christ either really didn't know who had touched him (this isn't clear, but we know that he could know people's thoughts and that there was a donkey in a certain place and a piece of money in a fish, so it's definitely possible that he knew, or could have known from his Father), or he asked because he wanted a chance to both follow up with her, and teach the multitude that this sort of thing was possible. "This sort of thing" being having faith in God enough to obtain a miracle without having a specific blessing or hands laid on her. Perhaps it was arranged through prayer, of course, and obviously it was an application of God's power... but power that is available to all of us directly, if we have the faith.
I don't think it has to be a dramatic miracle, but I have seen this happen in my life as well. When you do all you can do, and the only way that things can work out is through God, and you know that it will work out somehow... and it does. Might not be mountains moving, but the more we trust God, the more that he can work with us in our lives. Today, let's learn to trust God a little more. It won't happen overnight, and sometimes we're going to have to ask God to help us with our unbelief (Mark 9:24), but as we strive to stay close to the Lord and to do as he asks, our faith and confidence in the Lord will grow.
