LORD I WANT TO SEE

Overview

We need to come before the Lord with clarity.

Observations

What an incredible statement – I WANT TO SEE! This was spoken by a blind man who had called for Jesus’ attention. He cried out again and again so the Lord would minister to Him. Yet, when Jesus called him to come near, the Lord put a direct question to Him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the man’s response was so clear – his desire was that Jesus would enable him to see!

It is sometimes difficult to come before the Lord with clarity. When we pray and seek Him, we are often distracted by many thoughts, or overwhelmed by our many needs and requests. I wonder if Jesus asked us this question today, how would we answer?

The man standing before Jesus lacked physical sight, but he had great spiritual insight! He knew what to ask. He knew what this moment was. He understood the power of a touch from Jesus.

This is a season to seek the Lord and allow Him to help us see more clearly. When we see what God wants to reveal, we will be filled with wonder and amazement at His good purpose, plans, and promise. But it all starts with a desire. It starts with a heart cry to SEE.

Response

Let this moment be a moment of response in our lives, where we ask the Lord to open our spiritual eyes and help us to see more clearly. Do not let this moment pass you by. Let God fill your life with a desire to see what He wants to reveal to you.

Prayer

Lord, I know You can do anything. I know You have more in store for me than I have experienced. I pray that You would fill me with a desire to see more clearly what You are saying and desire to do in my life. Open my eyes – I want to see! In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
