When Logic Doesn't Add Up!

Sometimes, antecedents do not always set the right precedence to determine spiritual outcomes. If we were to use Isaac's reply to Esau when the latter asked the former for a blessing, we would think the Woman with the Issue of Blood outsmarted Jairus's daughter out of her own healing miracle. And Esau said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?” Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?” (Gen. 27:36-37)  And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” (Gen 27:38). Here, we see that the limitations of men cannot be equated with God's inexhaustible grace or love. Jairus had secured Jesus's approval to come pray for his sick child. On transit, Jesus got intercepted by the Woman with the Issue of Blood, and she snatched her own healing while Jairus's daughter died. It was a dead end for onlookers who told him never to bother Jesus again. Resigning to fate when things don't go our way is faithlessness and should have no basis in a believer's life. That Esau couldn't get his father's to bless him doesn't set any precedence that Jairus's daughter would remain dead because the woman 'stole' her healing blessing. Real faith doesn't rationalise events to determine outcomes. Don't use anyone's experiences to rule out your own possibilities. The woman got her healing but it didn't shut the doors to a miracle in Jairus's favour. There's always more in God's arsenal to unleash if you would only believe.
