The internet gives us access to more problem solving solutions than ever before. We can meet with a doctor online and get help for our physical ailments. We can obtain advice and counsel for a variety of problems through effective internet searches. And yet, we still have to come close to receive help for some problems.
If you needed surgery, you wouldn’t just drive near to a hospital and expect the doctors inside to be able to operate on you. If you receive advice on a car problem that you are unable to fix, you don’t just drive by a mechanic to have your problem fixed.
People of Jesus’s day had health problems that even the physicians could not heal. Desperate for healing they came to Jesus. Mark 3:10 says, “for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed around him to touch him.”
The people recognized that they had a problem which they couldn’t fix themselves. So they came to the One who could heal them and He did. Why do we hold onto our problems so tightly? We even try to hide our problems from others. We can find peace and comfort by coming to Jesus and turning our problems over to Him. He is good and His love is everlasting. Draw close to Jesus today and let Him know your concerns. His “consolations will cheer your soul.”
