Day 2 "Daughter of the King"
Beautiful Faith
Good Morning Beauties!
“Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed at that moment.” Matthew 9:22 NIV
Do you know the story of Veronica? You may know her as “the woman with the issue of blood.” She is the only woman in the Bible Jesus calls “Daughter.” Her story of faith is significant and an inspiration to us today.
I’m grateful scenes from The Chosen are made available to us via YouTube, so we can go back and get to know the characters of the Bible so much better - to understand them as human beings, just like us. Let me introduce you to Veronica…

This moving scene picks up right after Veronica pushes her way through the crowds to be close to Jesus. She knew if she could only touch the hem of His garment, she would be healed. What faith!
How did you respond to this scene? What part touched your heart? I wept through it, how about you? What about her faith made an impact? How did you feel watching Jesus call her “Daughter” with such love and tenderness? Selah.
I love the part when Jesus recognized she must be exhausted. He knows us so well - every struggle, every hardship, every tear. Veronica had been dealing with her medical condition for twelve years. What have you been dealing with? For how long? Are you feeling exhausted? Selah.
When Veronica burns her garments that once hid her condition, I was cheering. She took off the burden given by the enemy and destroyed it in the fire. She allowed Jesus to reveal truth about her identity - she was His daughter. Once being healed by Jesus spiritually and physically, she was truly free. Has your faith brought you freedom as well? What are the moments your faith changed everything? Selah.
What do you need to be set free from today? Is something from your past causing a heavy burden? Do you need to release? You only need to ask Jesus.
