Daily Reflection: It is helpful to keep the story of the woman with the issue of blood in mind as you read today’s scripture. Why? Her story begins with the tale of Jairus. If you read back in verse 22, you’ll notice that Jesus was passing by the woman because he was on his way to heal the daughter of Jairus. Think about it this way: Jairus watched the entire woman’s healing play out in front of him. From there, Jairus receives word that his daughter has died, yet, he continues to allow Jesus to pursue the healing regardless. The outcome was his daughter raised from the dead and healed from what put her there in the first place. Watching the healing of a woman play out in front of him, Jairus’ faith stayed intact for Jesus to do a miraculous work for his daughter. This is family. We can – and should be – encouraged by the miraculous things to happen in the lives of those around us.
Daily Demonstration: Look around at the people in your world today. What has God done for them? If you don’t know – ask! Take the day to rejoice and be encouraged by the faith of others. You may be surprised at the impact it has on your own.

About this Plan
The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
