What do you want today?

My Bible reading today is in Luke 18. Jesus is on his way to Jericho and he finds himself in an encounter with a blind man.
This blind man wants to know what all the commotion is about and so asks some of the crowd to describe the scene before them. They tell him that Jesus of Nazareth is there and so he begins to yell out!
This man might be physically blind, but his spirit isn't. He knows in his heart that he is about to meet someone special, that this Jesus can make a difference to his life, so he calls out.
We may be able to see in the physical, but if we are spiritually dead then we are blind. We need to make sure that our spirits are fed and that we are in tune with the Holy Spirit to ensure that the scales fall away from our spiritual blindness.
We can be followers of Christ all our lives, believing in him, knowing his word inside out, even preaching his word, BUT we can be spiritually blind, spiritually dead. Let's cry out to Jesus today and ask for our spiritual blindness to be healed so that we can see the world and those around us through the eyes of God.
