Separation and sight< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Mark10:46-52, Acts9:1-19

Blind Bartimaeus was separated to self; no sight; sat by the road begging. He needed sight to see Jesus, he cried out for Jesus and was asked to shut up. Mk.11:48 then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, ÒSon of David, have mercy on me!Ó

He was on his own, separation and isolation distinguished his cry to be heard before the Lord. He gained JesusÕ attention. Jesus answered him and he received his sight. Having received his sight, he followed Jesus. Saul before he became Paul the Apostle, he lost his sight of the past when he answered the call of the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 9:9, and he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. By the lost of sight, he became separated. When you are in a situation that you can not see the old things, you cannot lay hands on old things like you would love to; you cannot eat what you are used toÉcount it a time of separation, a time to focus on Him that you cannot see with your physical eye, focus on Him that is more than able to provide all that you need to live a meaningful life. Know fully well that the season will pass and you will come out new, with a new direction from God and for God to be glorified in your life. Saul became Paul, Bartimaeus begin to see and follow the healer. Separation will get you sight- you cannot see Him and not follow Him. Consider your current situation that is cutting you off from all that you want to lay hands on and could not, as a time of separation with preparation to begin operation for His glory.
