Matthew 9:18-26

Matthew 9:18-26 
English Standard Version (ESV) 

  Sometimes, amazing things happen when you're on the way to do something else.  If you're not paying attention to the journey, however, you might miss it.
  Jesus is on the way to resurrect a little girl, when this woman who has bled for twelve straight years reaches out to grab the hem of his garment as he passes by.  There, in the midst of his journey on his way to do something else, a miracle occurs and a woman is restored to the community from which she has been separated for over a decade.
  Think about this as you're on your way to something.  We often get in such a hurry, we're so focused on the end, that we don't pay attention to what's around us.  We don't pay attention to the people with whom we share the journey, and we ignore the ones whom we meet along the way, because we're focused on the end.  Slow down.  Take a breath.  Pay attention -- think about how God might use you as you wander along the way.  As someone said, we're all just walking each other home.
