I want you to take the question that Jesus asked the blind man and apply it to yourself: “What do you want me to do for you?” This blind man was no more or less worthy than you. Jesus’ companions supposed that an important person like Jesus could not have time for a blind beggar, so they tried to keep him quiet. But he would not take ‘no’ for an answer and in this he expressed his faith, which Jesus is always eager to answer. So I ask you today: What do you want Jesus to do for you the most? He is willing to answer you but he wants you to come to him with your requests. He wants you to seek him because he wants to give you more than help and provision. He wants you to take hold of him in the process of asking. Jesus is not the genie in the bottle. You don’t get wishes. He wants to give you good things but he may have a better idea than what you are asking for. By seeking God for what we want we are also allowing him to shape our desires. God wants us to be a praying and seeking people. He wants us to keep crying out like this blind man. We might be deceived into thinking that Jesus in not interested in our needs, but he is. You have his attention in full. So what do you want him to do for you? Ask him today.
Ask Jesus for what you want him to do.
Read Luke 18:31-43
