Matthew 20
The blind men are clearly bold...ignoring the calls for others to be quiet and shouting "all the louder" for Jesus to heal them. The question for me of course is how bold am I with Jesus...do I go big and do I ignore perhaps my own timidity and do I ignore my own fears of what others may say or think. Do I have faith of a reckless abandon?
First I must have faith...then I must bold with my faith - ignoring earthly views of my faith.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus what an amazing God You are...You are certainly the great healer, but You are compassionate for all of those who are afflicted as we all are sinners. That You would die for me is amazing...thank You Jesus. I am not worthy of Your love...I often spurn You. I beg You Jesus to forgive me...and to help me turn from such dangerous sin. I not only don't want to spurn You, I want to run to Your arms daily...I want to be at Your feet and to spend time with You and Your word. Help me Jesus.
The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” v31
