As Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” ~ Matthew 20:29-31
Today’s crowd is even more selfish, for they don’t even want Jesus to come into their city. But the two blind men were not intimidated nor discouraged. They shouted even louder, and Jesus heard them and granted them their heart’s desire. If they had caved under the crowd’s abusive words or decided to wait for a more opportune time, they would have missed their miracle. Don’t wait, don’t be intimidated, don’t hesitate, and DO NOT BE DENIED. Jesus is passing by; this is your day and your miracle. Just reach out and touch Him, and your life will never be the same.
LORD, harken Your ear to each cry of faith today and give a healing touch to everyone who believes. Grant liberation to those who call and deliverance to those who are bound. In Jesus’ name, amen.
