Meditate. Do you believe that Jesus is God? Do you believe in His power to heal? In His power over darkness?
After
Jesus left the girl's home, two blind men followed along behind him, shouting,
"Son of David, have mercy on us!" They went right into the house
where he was staying, and Jesus asked them, "Do you believe I can make you
see?" "Yes, Lord," they told him, "we do." Then he
touched their eyes and said, "Because of your faith, it will happen."
Then their eyes were opened, and they could see! Jesus sternly warned them,
"Don't tell anyone about this." But instead, they went out and spread
his fame all over the region. Matthew 9:27-31
“Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
Jesus had just raised a little girl from the dead. What amazing power! Now he
was asked to be merciful to these two blind guys. He asked them first if
they believed. Then Jesus touched the eyes of these two blind men and because
they believed—they had faith in Jesus’ power—they were healed. But Jesus told
them not to tell anyone about their healing. They were too
overjoyed with the miracle of their healing to keep that news to themselves.
They spread the news about Him in all the land. Believing is seeing.
Could you have been obedient and let no one know
about it? It would have been obvious to everyone around them—they no
longer needed help doing simple everyday tasks like cooking or baking—and what
kind of work could a blind person do? Certainly not that of a
blacksmith or a carpenter. Now they were able bodied. Of course they wanted to
rejoice! They could see the creation of God again! It takes light...and the power over darkness...to see. No more stumbling around in the dark...misguided and lost. They could see and now knew the true light...Jesus.
Prayer ~ Lord, help us to listen to you and
share only where and when you want us to.

Verses of Salvation ~ "Listen to me, my people. Hear me, Israel, for my law will be proclaimed, and my justice will become a light to the nations. My mercy and justice are coming soon. My salvation is on the way. My strong arm will bring justice to the nations. All distant lands will look to me and wait in hope for my powerful arm. Isaiah 51:4-5
God has salvation of His chosen
people in His plan for the future. Pray for Israel…and be ready yourself for we
don’t know when Jesus will call His chosen people—those who believe in Him. The
power of the Lord is evident to those who have faith like the blind men. Be prepared,
spiritually.
