• Frustration

  Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” His disciples became frustrated at Jesus.  
  Here’s what happened the previous 24 hours:
  Dealing with the crowd who listened to His parables
  Battled a night storm on the lake while Jesus slept
  Landing off-course at the shore of Gerasa rather than at their home in Bethsaida
  Witnessed an encounter with the demoniac and spending a good part of the day with a crowd that wanted them gone.
  Returned to the northwest side of the lake and dealt with the crowd again
  Changed itinerary again when Jesus is diverted by Jairus’ request to come and heal his dying daughter
  The disciples were exhausted, tired and hungry.  They were stressed out. 
  Jesus was focused upon His Heavenly Father and was sensitive to power leaving him.

  Do we miss miracles because when God leads us to those places that aren’t comfortable and we just want to refresh ourselves?
