Thought For Today

They (two blind men) said to Him, (Jesus) “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” Matthew 20:33

Lord what an exciting time for these two blind men. We don’t know any of their history other than that they were both blind. You had stopped on Your way into town and asked them why they were crying out. What did they want from You. Now they have answered that they wanted their eyes open.

Lord when I put myself in their place….they were sitting there not seeing anything. Total darkness. Not knowing where You were standing or what You looked like. Seeing absolutely nothing. But they could hear…..they heard You stop. Oh how excited that must have made them.

Lord, there are times in our lives when You stop us and ask, ‘What do we want.’ You want us to tell You. You want to know the desires of our hearts even though You already know what they are. Telling You seems to make it real and seal it in concrete so to speak. Thank You for allowing us to come to You and ask. Oh what a wonderful gift we are given. How blessed we are.

Thank You! Thank You Lord.
