Call for Help

29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 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!"
31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
32 Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
33 "Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."
34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Matthew 20:29-34



The main point in this recollection of Jesus healing the blind men does not have as much to do with the fact that these men received their sight as it does that they believed in Jesus and leaned hard on Him for help, despite what other people thought and despite the circumstances that they were in. You see, that’s the point of the Gospel isn’t it, that Christ could be here, right where we are, to help us through the most difficult of circumstances if you and I would just have the humility and boldness to call on His name each and every day of our lives. The point is that we surrender and rely on His strength in our lives, in every situation and every circumstance, no matter what the outcome. There are some things about my personality that will most likely never change until that day in Heaven when all who believe will be made new and whole and as a result I personally need to lean hard on Jesus each and every day in order to have the strength that is required to do what He has asked me to do in this life. I hate to think what my life would be like if I felt like I could do it on my own, without the grace, power and love that carries me through the challenges of every day. Lean hard on Jesus today as you learn and grow in His amazing love.
