Mark 10: 49 Jesus stood still and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling you.”
He is Bartimaeus, the blind beggar. He wants to be healed, but others have tried to quiet his calls to Jesus. When he gets to Jesus, he is indeed healed.
I like this verse taken out of context. Imagine that you are him. You hear Jesus telling the others to bring you over. Then the ones who were trying to silence you tell you that you are welcome to go to Jesus. He is calling for you!
Prayer: Lord, I am listening. I have been calling to You for healing. Please call for me. My faith is strong, and I need Your healing hand set upon Ron. We are working for the cure, but the path seems dark today. Send Your light and employ Your healing powers.
Amen
The cure came. Ron was healed in May. Then I lost my mom in August. Elaine moved to Florida in November.
ReplyDeleteIt was the answer to my prayer. But new challenges followed. I am always in need of Christ.
