See Me Devotional - Day 2

 

Matthew 9:27-29 ESV "And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” Never lose sight of Jesus… he is able. Jesus is fully God. He can heal at any time whether our belief in him is great or small. In these verses, Jesus is not asking us to believe in the ability to exercise faith. He is asking us to believe he is able.   Sometimes God heals physical illnesses while other times he chooses greater glory through the illness. God’s will is for us to know him and believe he is able. To be satisfied in him. To glorify him. To experience peace in him and enjoy him with spiritual eyes. During his evangelistic crusades in Britain, Charles Alexander, a popular nineteenth-century gospel singer, sang at a school for blind children. When asked if any child had a special request, a small boy lifted a hand and replied: “Please sir, will you sing ‘Never Lose Sight of Jesus’?”  The lad was thrilled to hear his favorite hymn, but the light on his face brought tears to the singer's eyes. The blind boy could not see the soloist, nor any person in the hall, but evidently he could see Jesus, and appreciated the words of Johnson Catman who wrote: Oh, pilgrim bound for the heavenly land, Never lose sight of Jesus. He'll lead you gently with loving hand, Never lose sight of Jesus. Pray and reflect in the Lord’s presence. Do you believe God is able to bring sight to the blindness in your life? Don’t just run to God for temporary relief. God wants his people to walk with him in steadfast belief. God’s will is to set the captive free! Choose today to see Jesus and believe he is able! Accept the invitation to see him do abundantly more than you could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20-21).
