What do you want Me to do for you?
Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. Matthew 20:29-3
What do you want Jesus to do for you today?
Do you even know?
Jesus asked the question of the blind men.
It was probably fairly evident that they were blind, that they needed their sight.
But Jesus asked the question anyway,
“What do you want Me to do for you?”
Sometimes, when we look around us, we assume what people need or want from us or from Jesus. But we don’t know what is going on inside their life, the real life, the one that we don’t often see. Jesus didn’t assume that the blindness the men were experiencing was their greatest concern or their greatest need.
He asked.
So we shouldn’t assume that our greatest need is the thing most visible to those around us. Sometimes, ever our own needs seem to be buried within us.
Take some time, sit in the Presence of the Lord, search your heart and be ready when you encounter Jesus and He asks you,
“What do you want Me to do for you?”
