In Mark 5, we meet Jairus. As Jesus crossed over the water, a crowd was there to meet Him and most likely ask Him for something. Jairus was first in line. At the sight of Jesus, Jairus fell at His feet and begged Him to go to his house and lay hands on his dying daughter so she could be healed. Jesus agreed.
On the way to Jairus’ house, Jesus stopped because He felt power leave Him. He asked, “Who touched Me?” A woman who had been suffering for 12 years confessed that she had and was immediately healed.
Can you imagine how Jairus felt? He was up early, maybe waiting for a long time to meet Jesus. He was first in line, and now a lady got her healing before his daughter did! She cut in front of him!
While Jesus talked with her, people from Jairus’ house came with the news. It was too late, “Your daughter is dead!”
“It’s not fair! I waited. I was first. This lady cut in front of me, and I lost my turn!” — Jairus
Jesus responded to Jairus’s internal struggle and said to him, “Don’t be afraid; only believe.”
Jesus was telling Jairus, “Just because someone cut in front of you doesn’t mean you won’t get your turn!”
Jesus gets to Jairus’ house, takes the girl by the hand, tells her to get up, and immediately, she does!
Jairus got his turn.
This story should remind us, “Just because someone cut in front of you doesn’t mean you won’t get your turn!”
As Gilbert Thinketh 
Patience is still a virtue!
