In John 9:1-18 the bible teaches us the story of God healing the Blind man from Madagascar. When the disciples approached the Blind man, they asked God. “Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?” Why did the disciples ask God the REASON this man was born blind? That’s like me walking up to a woman who can’t bear children of her own and saying “How come your sister can have kids and you can’t? Were you a slut?” The reasons that we go through things aren’t as relevant as how we get out of those situations.
The blind man never asked to see, yes he begged at the temple for food and money but the blind man never even went to the temple on Sunday. His faith in God wasn’t so strong that he was going to church and praying for God to heal him of his blindness. Most of us who are going through things our entire lives never ask to be healed. We go through life not even HOPING that the things we have lived through will change because we have been so stuck in the reality of the situation. The blind man lived all those years of his life not seeing for 1 reason: To know that the works of God were alive and reveled.
I’ve lived my life like this. Living from day to day not expecting major miracles because that is my reality. My reality is that, yes God will bless me, and yes sometimes he will bless me further than I can imagine, but no there isn’t a miracle happening on my street.
Yes I go to church and I follow God’s word, but no, I’m not going to just hit the lottery, or win a brand new car! I know that my works are done to please God and my faith is built on Jesus’ love.
So what is my point in this? We need to start expecting miracles. We need to start having more faith in God’s miracles. Having more faith that when we walk out into the street, we may meet someone who will give us all the desires of our hears. That God doesn’t just grant us our desires but he gives us miracles everyday.
I often thought that miracles in the bible were just that, miracles that were told in stories that I would never get to see myself but God has granted miracles 4 me. I don’t know what’s about to happen in my life, or your life, but I am expecting a miracle. Not just because I know God can grant a miracle but because I know he WILL grant miracles!
Verse 4 OF THIS same passage says “4 “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.
What have we done through our works that would make God want to grant us a miracle. The devil wants you to have a job, but God wants you to work. Work on healing the generational gaps in our families, work on restoring the brokenness in our lives, work on opportunities that will bless others.
If we don’t want to work, God will take us away from our jobs.
Remember the Blind Man Never Asked to See. Will you take the time to See the Miracles in your life that God is preparing you fro or will you continue the job that you think you are here on earth to do?
