All We Have!

“Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way. Mark 10:52



In Luke chapter 18, we encounter the same story of Bartimaeus, a blind man who called out to Jesus while Jesus passed by with his followers on the way to the Passover. “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” he shouted several times even when he was shushed by the people surrounding Jesus. Jesus heard him and gave him his sight. What did Bartimaeus do? He became one of those following Jesus and gave glory to God. (Luke 18:43)

We have our sight, we can see! How glorious it is to wake up in the morning and read the Bible! For a blind person the gift of sight would be a miracle and he would praise God for it. To us, we take it for granted every day. How many miracles do we take for granted every single day of our life? Can we breathe without an oxygen tank beside us? Praise the Lord! Can we walk? Can we talk? Can we read? Write? Do we have water? Electricity? WiFi? 

Are all our loved ones with us? Safe? Healthy? There is so much to thank God for. Let us not wait till something happens before we realize how much God does for us to take care of us. Let us not take these things for granted. Let us already follow Jesus, and give glory to Him for all we have!
