Mark 8
Roughly a week ago, I posted a link to DesiringGod.com about seeing Jesus properly, and today it is relevant once more to reference this post as the blind man healed here by Jesus is only healed according to the folks at Desiring God because he saw Jesus clearly. The healing occurs in two stages to reinforce that the life that Jesus promises us only comes to us once we acknowledge who Jesus is in both an absolute sense and who He is for us personally.
My Prayer: Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who died for me both for all and for me personally - thank You Jesus - the greatest gift of all time! I am not worth such a gift of grace. I daily miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome such sin and turn from such sin and turn towards You. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and energy. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Once more Jesus put his
hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was
restored, and he saw everything clearly. v25

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10
