Luke 18:41 NLT: Jesus: “What do you want me to do for you?
”Blind beggar: “Lord, I want to see!”
We tend to live in our circumstances. This blind beggar could have asked to spend eternity in the presence of the Lord, and Jesus could have granted that request! Ultimately, that was Jesus’ gift to the whole world. But the beggar, like most of us, focused on the his present predicament, the fact that he could not see.
I cannot fault the beggar for his response. Being blind is a huge disability, and being able to see would be life-changing. But note that the beggar called Jesus “Lord.” He may already have been a believer!
As we pray for God’s help with our present circumstances, remember to also include things of substance, things of eternal significance. Thank God for who he is and for what he has done for us. Thank him for including us in the Kingdom of believers. Thank God and his Son Jesus for coming to earth to rescue mankind. Thank him for giving us eternal hope!
