Jesus was never distracted from his healing mission. Regardless of the situation, he maintained a thought of focus and clarity. When the woman with the issue of blood touched his garment in the midst of a crowd, he knew immediately that the healing Christ had been called upon. When he asked. “Who touched me?” His disciples were incredulous, and responded, “The multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou who touched me?” The woman then identified herself and claimed her healing. (Luke 8) Our Reading Room topic for February is overcoming distraction. Let us commit ourselves to maintaining our focus and purpose, in spite of any swirl of activity around us.
