Seeking Hope in Darkness
Here: We have two blind men, in despair about their blindness, with a craving for healing.
Two blind men desperate for healing seek hope in Christ, and go after Him.
How
God can use our dark moments to to trigger a realization that an opportunity for His healing is right in front of us.
When we’ve reached our low, we reach out for Him.
He is looking for us to follow Him.
Seeking God’s mercy is seeking His blessing.
“See the chaos that I am in Lord, and bless me to get me out of this pit.”
Here: The blind men meet Jesus, and He asks them about their belief.
There is a moment of meeting for men in darkness before God.
We are all in this world grasping at things, trying to find our way around.
But there is a moment in time where God confronts us in our darkness, where the condition of our heart cannot be hidden.
There is a meeting place.
Salvation is about belief.
john20.
In our darkness, our beliefs are thoroughly exposed.
When you are hurt, when you are frustrated, when you are angry, where do you go?
Where do you put your trust?
What do you believe?
Do you believe that you have an ability to get out of it?
Then why haven’t you?
We think we can do it.
We think we can solve all of our problems.
But it is in our weakness when we have the most strength, because we see the truth about reality: without a higher power, we are powerless.
We need God’s touch in our lives.
We need Him so we can see.
mat9.29
These men in the darkness have miraculously found a way to the light.
God is the light out of our darkness!
And He rewards those who diligently seek Him!
What is His reward?
His touch, which opens our eyes.
His love, which fills our hearts.
His joy, which is pure and everlasting.
His abundant life, which is the only life worth living.
God is willing to touch and heal all who come to Him, and believe in Him, who believe that He is bigger than all your problems.
He is the solution to any problem we face.
No matter how big, He is bigger.
