THE OBVIOUS!

Today's post is brought to you by a well-known guest blogger...... well, at least she is well-known to me because she's my sister! :)  Christine also very capably heads up Hospitality in our Soul Care ministry.  SO thankful for her and all she does.  Enjoy her "Home Spun Homily" and pop over to her site to read more and leave a comment.  Thanks for joining us today Christine.  <3

Matthew 20:30,32,33  "Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, "What do you want me to do for you?"  "Lord," they said, "we want to see!"

How obvious can it get. Two blind men want to see. Couldn't Jesus have guessed that? Why would he make them to state the obvious? I think the answer is as simple as the request of our two blind friends. Jesus wanted them to ask. He wanted to have communication with them.

Maybe that is what Jesus is asking us today. "What do you what me to do for you?" Perhaps we make our prayers too complicated instead of stating the obvious. "Lord, I want my son to live for you." Lord, I need help with my finances." Lord, I desire to be more creative in my writings." I think this is a powerful lesson our two blind friends and Jesus taught us, and we would be wise to state the obvious.

I want Jesus to communicate with me and maybe He is and I am not listening. I know I don't listen when it comes to my food issues. Help me to state what I want Lord and be willing to listen.

How wonderful that the King of Kings who knows everything about us, still invites us to voice what is on our hearts and to respond to His questions. Perhaps it's mainly important so we can have a chance to examine our own hearts and determine what we do want, and surrender each part of our desires to Him.
