Healing the Blind

Whenever Jesus would heal or deliver someone, almost without exception, he would ask them to say or do something. In this instance, he asks Bartimaeus what he would like Jesus to do for him. There are many things Bartimaeus could have said. If he had doubted that Jesus could have healed him, he could have asked for riches so that he could at least get off the street. It took faith for Bertimaeus to ask for healing.

Jesus wants us to have faith. He wants us to demonstrate our faith, to speak it or do it. Faith enables the work of Christ to be manifest in our lives. We as children of the most high God are given free will, a choice, and we must choose to accept the best that God has for our lives.

Prayer: Dear Jesus, let us no longer suffer along with what we can provide for ourselves. Thank you that there is so much more for us as the children of the most high God. Let our yes be yes, and our no be no, and when we ask something let us ask in faith believing that you are more than able to meet our needs. Let your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven... this day. Amen
