Hosea 14, 2 Chron 26-27, Ps 61, Matt 20
When was the last time you wanted something that bad? So bad that you were willing to stand in the middle of the isle, screaming as loud as you can just so someone might hear you? It’s been a long time, for me.
Maybe that’s the problem. Ive been whispering my prayers and asking for things. Perhaps God’s first response is like mine in the grocery isle. “Not today, son.” What do I do now? Keep being polite? Ask again, but nicer?There were two blind men sitting along the road in Jericho. They heard Jesus coming, so they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” Jesus didn’t respond.
They kept shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us! Lord, Have mercy! Please! Have Mercy.” Now, they were getting attention, but not from Jesus. The crowd around them was upset. “Shut up!” they demanded. The response was easy. The blind men shouted louder. (Matthew 20:29-33).
Now, what do you want? Is it important enough to shout for? Why aren’t you shouting?
