DO YOU BELIEVE I CAN DO THIS?
Before you continue, please do me a favour. Can you read Matthew 9, 27-31? I will be happy if you do, so that you will follow my reflection here. By the way, hope you had a nice night rest.. ππ»ππ»
Won't you rather think that Jesus would be very quick in attending to people's request because He came for this purpose, especially manifested in His healing ministry? Well, God's ways are not our ways and vice versa.. ππ
My beloved, am sure you have read the passage I gave you earlier and have heard that two blind men were following Jesus shouting: "Take pity on us, Son of David!" Good! ππ»ππ»
Surprisingly, have you noticed that it was only when Jesus reached the house (verse 28) that the blind men came up to Him?π³π³ Now, ask yourself: Why didn't He attend to the two blind men immediately as He would usually do? Why did He make them to follow Him all the way to the house even with their difficult condition?
Was Jesus being wicked to them? Did he just wanted to punish them? Was he enjoying the sound of their screaming? Was He a sadist?π³π³π
Now, let me ask you this question: Have you ever passed through some challenges in life and you prayed to God to intervene immediately, and He delayed in answering your prayers? πππ
Don't worry, the experience of the two blind men would tell you that for prayers to be answered, it requires a combination of faith, perseverance and persistence. You're happy now! ππππ»ππ»ππ»π
Today, as you prepare to begin this new day and to end this week, Jesus is also asking you this question: "Do you believe that I can do this?"π
I want to hear your answer as
Today will be better for you. I love you from my heartπππ
Rabbi
