Bible Verse of The Day – 3-17-22

Mark 8:22 (NKJV) 22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.

How many of us today are begging Jesus for a touch?

Maybe we need some kind of miracle to take place so that we can move forward in our lives. We’ve been stuck in the same rut for a long time and we are so tired, seeing and hearing the same things, every day, over and over.

We are beginning to lose hope if we don’t see a change come soon.

These men that brought the blind man in were begging Jesus, hoping that He would touch him, because they knew He would heal him completely.

And just as they knew it would happen, so do we. He can touch anything and bring wholeness, restoration, and completeness to our present situation.

Jesus did heal the man. But what’s important to know is that it took place in stages in that particular situation.

Mark 8:23-24 (NKJV) 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. 24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

That was the first stage. But the answer the man gave to Jesus told Him that the healing wasn’t yet complete.

So, Jesus took another step to bring it to its completion.

Mark 8:25 (NKJV) 25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

Seeing men like trees was not going to work, he needed to see them clearly, so Jesus did it again.

There will be times, just like with this man, when our answer will come in stages. And we have to keep our faith and hold on to Jesus for His promises no matter how long it may take.

Don’t stop believing for Him to complete the work that He has begun. Be patient. Follow His lead and give Him time.
