(Read Luke 18:35-43)
“ And Jesus said unto him, 'receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.’. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, have praise unto God. Luke 18:42-43
We are living in a world that is marked by distress and trouble. Yet in the midst of all the confusion and stress and unhappiness generated by this COVID19 virus pandemic, many are actually supremely happy. It is a wonderful fact that the “unhappy” can be made to be”happy.”. In this story, from the scriptures, we find a very unhappy man made happy!
Why was he unhappy? He was blind! When we allow circumstances to obscure our view, we too, are blinded to God’s promises and His power to control our lives.
What did this unhappy man do? He heard about this man named Jesus. He cried out for help and he cried in faith. He came to Jesus and when Jesus called, he answered. You see, he came to Jesus and got what he needed. Should we pray to God, in Jesus’ name, to take care of this present situation?
How was this man, made happy? With his eyes opened, his handicap removed, his heart filled with the Grace of God, he saw his world differently! I believe that we need to make time to pray to God, in faith, and do it regularly and with expectant intensity. PRAISE GOD,HE still has the power to make the unhappy, happy today! Regardless of the circumstances, GIVE THANKS! Are you happy? You can be! Keep believing and claiming the promises of God! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…Remember, THE BEST IS YET TO BE!!
