Today is Reformation Day.
Today's readings are Psalm 46, Deuteronomy 32:28-52, and Matthew 20:17-34.
I once knew a lady who was born blind. She attended a church fellowship where on a weekly basis the leaders of the church would stand in front and have a time for people to come and be prayed for. The desire of this lady's heart was that her husband would believe in Jesus as Lord. Yet every time she went for prayer the leaders would pray that she would receive her sight. Needless to say this was discouraging for her. She was comfortable knowing the first face she would ever see would be in eternity. But she was not comfortable with her husband's lack of preparedness.
When the blind men met Jesus he asked them what they wanted. May we who are asked to pray be equally sensitive and perceptive. And when we come before Jesus may we also see that he cares enough to hear our prayer, even if our concern is not the one everyone else thinks it should be.
