Deaf Devo for Wednesday, 22 February 2017 "Change of Plans" with Bible Reading: Luke 8:40-48

Deaf Devo for Wednesday, 22 February 2017 "Change of Plans" with Bible Reading: Luke 8:40-48
Luke 8:
40 When Yeshua got back, the crowd welcomed him; for they were all expecting him. 41 Then there came a man named Ya’ir who was president of the synagogue. Falling at Yeshua’s feet, he pleaded with him to come to his house; 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old; and she was dying.

As he went, with the crowds on every side virtually choking him, 43 a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, 44 came up behind him and touched the tzitzit on his robe; instantly her hemorrhaging stopped. 45 Yeshua asked, “Who touched me?” When they all denied doing it, Kefa said, “Rabbi! The crowds are hemming you in and jostling you!” 46 But Yeshua said, “Someone did touch me, because I felt power go out of me.” 47 Seeing she could not escape notice, the woman, quaking with fear, threw herself down before him and confessed in front of everyone why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 He said to her, “My daughter, your trust has saved you; go in peace.”

I do not like it when my plans are changed. When this happens, I start to worry and complain.
One day recently my husband and I left home to go somewhere. I put on my coat and picked up my purse and a thermos of hot tea. I went out the door and locked it. Then my husband told me that our car wouldn't start. So I went back in the house and took off my coat. I was unhappy because our plans were changed.
It is easy to become upset when our plans change. In our Bible Reading today, Jesus was on His way to heal a little girl. But His plans changed. On the way Jesus met a woman who was ill. This woman needed Jesus to help her. Jesus did not become upset or complain about the change in His plans. Instead, He showed her compassion and healed her.
Don't become upset if your plans change today. Follow Jesus' example and show love and patience to others.[Pam Davis]
"Jesus said to her, 'My daughter, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace.'"[Luke 8:48]
PRAYER: God, please control my plans for today. And help me to show love to others. In Jesus' name. Amen.
