[The Glory Unveiled]
Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. ( Matthew 20:32 )
Two blind men heard that Jesus was passing by and they knew that Jesus could restore their sight. So they began to call out to him disregarding all else and keeping their mind and attention on Jesus. Even when the crowd wanted to shut them up; deny them the opportunity to access their breakthrough, they didn’t give in. The story of these two blind men is like the story of most of us. Jesus is the solution to every life problem and most of us are not oblivious to that. But sometimes the reason why our answers seem to hang over our heads is the fact that, we are unable to answer the question that makes our anchor scripture above. “What do you want me to do for you?” is a question that is difficult to answer because many people have misplaced priorities. What do you really want or need amidst all the shadows of the needs you think you have? What is that real need you want God to help with? When we go to pray, we need to make our needs specific. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “give us this day our daily bread”. That was so specific and straight to the point. We need to inculcate this attitude of asking and answering questions right.
Prayer_Bead: Jehovah Jireh, God our provider and sustainer, thank you for showing me the pathway into making requests. Help me to prioritize well and to acknowledge you in all things.
