Read: John 9:1-12
Jesus heals a Blind Man
In this Scripture, as Jesus is walking around he comes across a man (a beggar) who had been blind since birth. His disciples questioned as to why this man was born that way. Was it because of the sins in his past, or was it those of his parents? Jesus said neither, all of us must carry out the tasks and assignments by the one who sent me, for there is little time left before nightfall and all works come to an end. However, while Jesus was still in the world, he gives the world his light.
Then Jesus spat, and took a small amount of mud, made a paste rubbed it on the man’s eyes and then told him to go wash his eyes in the Pool of Siloam. Following Jesus’ direction he washed his eyes and came back to his home, now being able to see. His neighbors and others who identified him as “the beggar” were skeptical on whether or not he was the same person. However, he said to them I am the same! There were many questions as to what had happened. The man only had to tell the story of his faith journey.
I too have found myself in situations that I thought I would be facing that were out of my control. However, I found that when I am able to calm my thoughts and actions and wait for a resolve, this is where I “wait patiently on the Lord”. Be strong and courageous while trusting in God’s timing.
