What do you Want the Lord to Do for you?
Lord, that I may receive my sight. (Luke 18:41 KJV)
What is the thing that not only disturbs you but makes you a disturbance? It is always some thing you cannot deal with yourself. "They rebuked him that he should hold his peace . . . but he cried so much the more." Persist in the disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord Himself; do not deify common sense. When Jesus asks us what we want Him to do for us in regard to the incredible thing with which we are faced, remember that He does not work in common-sense ways, but in supernatural ways.
Watch how we limit the Lord by remembering what we have allowed Him to do for us in the past: I always failed there, and I always shall; consequently we do not ask for what we want. "It is ridiculous to ask God to do this." If it is an impossibility, it is the thing we have to ask. If it is not an impossible thing, it is not a real disturbance. God will do the absolutely impossible.
This man received his sight. The most impossible thing to you is that you should be so identified with the Lord that there is nothing of the old life left. He will do it if you ask Him. But you have to come to the place where you believe Him to be Almighty. Faith is not in what Jesus says but in Himself; if we only look at what He says we shall never believe. When once we see Jesus, He does the impossible thing as naturally as breathing. Our agony comes through the wilful stupidity of our own heart. We won't believe, we won't cut the shore line, we prefer to worry on.
Many times, we dare not to ask God for the things that we are hoping to see. Maybe because we are afraid that He will not give it to us, maybe because we are afraid we'll be disappointed. But all these, are manifestations of our doubt.
Faith, is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see.
Don't limit the power of God, but instead allow Him to show you the full measure of His power and might. And you will be amazed.
Our journey with God should be an amazing one, not one filled with fear of disappointment.
Even as you decided that you want to know God more on Saturday, even as you decided that you want to go all out to do His will, take this step of faith. And trust Him. He will reveal Himself to you, for that is His desire.
Enjoy your journey with Father God! =)
