--GOD'S PURPOSE~~

--Mark 5:21-34

The counsel of the
LORD stands forever,
the plans of His heart
to all generations.
--Psalm 33:11

-Jesus' disciples were accompanying Him on an urgent mission when their trip was interrupted (Mark 5:21-42). The daughter of Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, was dying. Time was of the essence, and Jesus was on His way to their home. Then Jesus stopped and said, "Who touched My clothes?" (v.30)

The disciples seemed irritated by this and said, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'" (v.31). But Jesus saw it as the opportunity to minister to a suffering woman. Her illness had made her ceremonially unclean and unable to participate in community life for 12 years! (see Lev. 15:25-27).

While Jesus was talking to this woman, Jairus' daughter died. It was too late--or so it seemed. But the delay allowed Jairus to experience an even deeper knowledge of Jesus and His power--even power over death!

-Sometimes our disappointment can be God's appointment.
