What Do You Want Me To Do For You?

Scripture

Luke 18

35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road. 36 When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was going by. 38 So he began shouting, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39 “Be quiet!” the people in front yelled at him.

But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 When Jesus heard him, he stopped and ordered that the man be brought to him. As the man came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “I want to see!”

42 And Jesus said, “All right, receive your sight! Your faith has healed you.” 43 Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too.

Observation

What do you want me to do for you? “LORD,” he said, “I want to see!” I think it is interesting that Jesus asked the blind beggar that question. Jesus knew what the man wanted but Jesus wanted the man to ask him to be healed. Jesus knows all of our needs but He loves for us to come to Him in humility and ask Him for help.
Can you imagine the joy that this man must have felt? It says that he followed Jesus, praising God. I bet everyone for miles could hear him praising God. Do you have a need today? Or does someone else have a need that you can pray for? Jesus knows all about the need, but He loves for us as His children to come to Him and ask Him to meet that need.

It is all about faith. It is all about trust. It is all about having childlike faith.

Application

I will pray and depend on Jesus today to meet my needs that I am going to share with Him. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to be effective today for Your kingdom. I pray that as I talk to people today and invite them to church for friend day that they would be give me a positive response. Work in their hearts and lives and I pray that you bring them closer to Your kingdom this week. Put in their hearts a desire to follow after You.
