Today’s Scripture: The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” Matthew 20:31 ESV
I am amazed at the power and love of the Holy Spirit. He has the power to open up the heavens to us and within moments be right in the middle of our earthly plight.
I am sometimes haunted by Jesus’ question in Mark 10, Luke 18 and Matthew 20. “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind men in this story kept crying out “all the more” for Jesus to have mercy on them. When He did call for them they knew they wanted sight. I have often wondered how I would respond if Jesus asked me this question.
Just maybe He is. I am crying out all the more that the Holy Spirit who opens the heavens also reveals God’s will He has entrusted in me. I have faith He will answer and direct me to what He desires for me to want.
Are you crying out?
Today’s Prayer: Christ Jesus I am calling out to You. I want to live in the faith and love that is in You! I am crying out to You again for You to bring me those that will fill me with the knowledge and instruction to fulfill God’s will and guard what has been entrusted to me. May I be a slave to all and give and teach others the word You have given me. Amen
