Are you or someone you know in a rut?
Does not specify if he was blind from birth, or lost it over time, or from an accident.
But back then if you were blind you were looked down upon and the only thing you could do for income was to have someone take you to a place where people travel by and beg for money.
To move from Rut to Repurpose you have to keep doing something.
Notice he was not sitting at home.
Ill: Dave and areospace industry strike.
- Worked at Target.
Question?
If the blind guy chose to stay at home and not take some form of action as little as it was or as demeaning as it was, would he have been on the side of the road to hear the crowd passing by? No?
If you are not where you want to be right now you might be right where you need to be for your next opportunity.
To move from Rut to Repurpose we need to recognize that we might be exactly where we need to be.
God you have me here right now.
What is it that you need me to see in my circumstances that I am not seeing?
Moving from Rut to Repurpose we need to be looking for our opportunity.
Moving from Rut to Repurpose we have to be willing to ask for help.
You can always ask for help.
Ask God first and then others second.
Besides God who do I ask?
Those that have done what you want to do.
Do you know of someone that has been in a similar rut as you and they found a way out of it?
Your marriage is in a rut.
Talk to a couple whos marriage you admire.
Your finances are out of wack?
Talk to ppl you know that have there finances in order.
But you have to suck up your pride and ask.
Ill: Guy at the gym asked another guy how did you get such big arms?
How much weight and how many reps and how often.
Answer: I start curling the weights tell it starts burning then I do and count out 10 more.
See most ppl quite as soon as it start to hurt.
They told him to be quite.
But he shouted all the more.
There will be people that will want to hold you back if you want to move from Rut to Repurpose.
What do you want me to do for you?
I want to see.
It is okay to ask.
Some of you feel that you don’t deserve it.
And you are right.
Vs. 8: For everyone who asks receives.
- But not me.
Vs. 11: Your Father in heaven give good gift to those who ask him!
TP:
What do you need Jesus to do for you.
Keep asking and believing.
What is faith?
Confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Immediately he received his sight.
- What most have that been like.
Color blind and gets the gift of glasses that help him see color for the first time.

When he said "those aren't the same" I just teared up cuz I actually realised what he meant and how he has seen the world for his whole life.
How have you been seeing the world your whole life?
Is it not time for you to turn the page.
The next chapter in your book.
To move from Rut to Repurpose.
You get what you focus on.
So what are you always talking about and focused on?
The rut you are in or the repurposed life you want?
Out mtn biking and going down a fire road with ruts in it.
Rut on the left side of the trail and smooth trail on the right.
Repeating to myself.
Don’t go in the rut, don’t go in the rut!
Where did I end up?
In the rut.
One thing I can’t stand hearing other people say is “nothing ever works out for me”.
Nothing?
You know why nothing ever works out for you?
Because that is what you focus on.
