Jesus is Passing this Way (III)

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7(NIV)

Bible Reading: Mark 10:46-52

Just like Bartimaeus, we have different desires we want God to meet in our lives. There are genuine longings that we want God to satisfy.

The joy that fills my heart as we roundup lessons from the story of Bartimaeus today is that God is never tired of hearing us. He knows, sees, and listens to us — even our inner thoughts. Amidst the crowd and the noises that surrounded Bartimaeus, Jesus heard his distinct voice, and gave him an unreserved attention. Beloved, you have a Father who knows you by name and He hears even before you call. Bartimaeus believe that Jesus could heal him. He cried to Jesus, left his comfort zone and acted according to his expectations. Today, we encourage you to take time to seek God’s face concerning your heart desires, believe, act accordingly as the Holy Spirit directs, and patiently wait on God.

Self-Reflection: Why pray if you don’t believe? Why believe if you aren’t taking the right steps that correspond to your faith?

Action Point: Pray to God for your specific needs in your life.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for the spirit of supplication to rest upon your household (Zechariah 12:10).

Hymn: Oh, how praying rests the weary!

Prayer will change the night to day.

So, when life gets dark and dreary,

Don’t forget to pray.
