Kon doo it ~ Kondwit ~ Conduit

Reading from Oct. 30 Mark 5,6


TOPIC: Worthy Vessel


SCRIPTURE: "A women who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all but rather had grown worse - after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. For she thought, 'If I just touch His garments, I will get well.' Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth,..." (Mark 5:30)


OBSERVATION: This women had a seemingly incurable condition causing her to bleed constantly. This may have been a menstrual or uterine disorder that would have made her ritually unclean and would have excluded her from most social contact. She desperately wanted Jesus to heal her, but she knew that her bleeding would cause Jesus to be unclean under Jewish law if she touched him. Still, the woman reached out by faith and was healed. Sometimes we fell that our problems will keep us from God. But he is always ready to help. We should never allow our fear to keep us from approaching him. [Life Application Commentary]



APPLICATION: As I read over this pasage I couldn't help but think about a conduit

A Conduit is a pipe that carries liquid to or from a place

In the same way water flows through a conduit
GOD
Desires to flow through you

To heal
To comfort
To teach
To show mercy
To love
To....
To....
To....


Is your conduit
free flowing
or
stopped up ?


PRAYER: Father God, please help me to be a vessel fit for the master's use. Use me, work through me all day everyday!
