What do you want me to do? Matthew 20:32 Mark 10:51.
A blind man heard Jesus and cried out to Him. Jesus who being the very God knew what the blind man wants, but He asked this question " what do you want me to do?. Jesus wants the blind man to say what he wanted. Even today people ask God everyday for many things but God wants them to be specific. God knows everything even before we ask Him, but still He wants us to keep on asking, keep on knocking and keep on seeking. The answer from God may come immediately, or delayed or may be no. we must know what we are asking God for, Why we are asking a particular request, we must know whether it is the will of God. In this case we know it is the will of God for that man to see.The blind man expressed his wish to see and Jesus healed him. The blind man had these qualities that enabled him to receive answer to his prayer. The blind man was persistent, he did not care about the people who were discouraging him from reaching Jesus, His focus was on Jesus and his request was to Jesus,He had faith in Jesus and believed that Jesus can heal him. Bible says in Hebrews !!:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Today Jesus is asking you the same question, " What do you want me to do?'. What are you expecting Jesus to do for you? Are you focused on Jesus? Are you persistently asking Jesus? DO you have the faith that is necessary to receive anything from God?
Meditate on this.
