29As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
31The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
32Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
33"Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."
34Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
These two blind men where shouting for Jesus, they were seeking Him earnestly. Others rebuked them and told them to be quiet and not make any commotion, but they continued to shout for Jesus despite the criticism.
There are going to be a lot of people criticising you for seeking God. Some may be from the non christians, others may be from your own brothers and sisters telling your to be quiet and stop shouting for Jesus. It says in 1 Chron 22 to devote your heart and your soul to seeking the Lord. These two blind men are examples of that. We need to continuously seek to Lord with all our hearts.
Father God, I thank you for your Love for us, even though we do not deserve it. Lord, I thank you and give you honor and praise. Lord, I pray for your spirit and your strength, that I may continue to seek you always everyday. Lord, let me grow more in you. I give you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
