During the recent presidential campaign, donors in California paid $40,000 each for the opportunity to eat dinner with George Clooney and President Obama. Meanwhile in Florida, supporters of Governor Mitt Romney paid $50,000 a plate for lunch with the Republican nominee. Getting access to important people in this world can be difficult, and sometimes it takes money – a lot of it.

All the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him.Luke 6:19

As Jesus ministered in Galilee, people scrambled to be close to Him. But their motives did not involve a quest for influence, fame or prestige. They simply wanted to be healed. Scripture tells you their faith was immediately rewarded. You can’t physically reach out and touch Jesus as they did during His earthly ministry, but still…He’s just that close. The Savior is ready to minister to you, as He has always been.

Will you take the time to reach out in prayer for His power? Today, ask God to touch your neighborhood and your nation with His truth and love. You can be sure He will respond – not to your funds, but to your faith.
