Devotions

  Luke 18:35-43 (New International Version) 35As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37They told him, " Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." 38He called out, " Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 39Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 40Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord, I want to see," he replied. 42Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you." 43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.

//In My Opinion the morale of these scriptures and the lesson that Christ is trying to teach us, is that it is better to be blind and see than to see and be blind. It is better to be physically blind and see with a faithful vision of God than to see but be blind spiritually. It is very clear.

This man was blind physically but had faith in the Lord, that he would provide for him. And his faith in God helped him overcome the grief of being blind. And though the people rebuked him, he still had FAITH and he was blessed with his vision because his FAITH healed him. The key to receiving blessings from God is to have faith. We in// //spiritual terms are blind, but- if we have faith we will see blessings from God. We can’t expect to receive from God if we don’t give him anything in return. Yes, he blesses us because he loves and cares for us, but we need to give him Praise! We need to show faith and give him the LOVE that he gives us. It is only by these actions that we can glorify God. Remember- have faith and you will see…… //
