FAITH CAPSULE: Know that nothing is too difficult for God to do.
Mark 10: 46-52
Are you too quiet to ask?
The word of God states, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Mathew 7:7-8)
Do you know to quit and not be able to persist?
Challenges or situations demand crying out to God for His intervention.
Bible times, a roadside beggar decided to cry out to Jesus for his deliverance and come out of his dust location.
The Bible records one blind Bartimaeus Timaeus sitting on the dusty roadside.
Lameness kept him grounded.
To be grounded on the roadside is to be decorated with dust and be denied living a meaningful life.
Are you living life in a dusty roadside situation?
Do you know for sure that the God of yesterday is the same today?
Know that nothing is too difficult for God to do.
The Bible records that the lame man refused to be quiet by calling out to Jesus, “When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”(Mark 10:47) Despite his condition, all he needed to do to have his circumstances turned around was to listen, hear and see that his deliverance was at hand.
He cried out and did not remain quiet.
Are you one who hears but cannot see past your hearing?
The day that the blind man heard that Jesus was near, he saw deliverance from his ground of stagnation, “And throwing his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.” (Mark 10:50)
When the blind man threw his garment of dust, shame departed from him.
Do you hear and not see that the Lord is nearer to you than you know?
Bartimaeus Timaeus cried out to Jesus and received his sight.
It was mentioned that he immediately followed Jesus on the road.
It is impossible to follow Jesus with good sight and open eyes and not see the goodness of God.
The story of the blind man changed for the better because he regained his sight to follow Jesus.
Do not let Him pass by you without crying out to Him.
Cry out for His help until He gives heed to your crying.
Ignore the reaction of the multitude in an attempt to shut your crying out.
Bartimaeus Timaeus, the roadside beggar, became the roadside miracle man when he refused to be quiet but loud.
The “road duster” became the “roadmaster” when he cried out loud at the God Master.
God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God is not a partial God not to answer to calling Him.
Call out to God alone.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace not to miss your day of deliverance.
