According to your faith
Matthew 9:27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”
28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.
Our Jesus is so amazing! As long as we are in this sin ridden world, all of humanity will have something, often many somethings wrong with us. Its the consequence of sin. Here, we see two blind men that come to Jesus to receive their sight. They heard about Jesus! The powerful words of God even when we cant see God! Many have to see before they believe. But, we are called to believe in Jesus and then we will see. Jesus asks them, "Do you believe I am able to open your eyes?" Do I believe God is able to do anything in my life? YES! He has and He will! They had to believe because Jesus chose to touch them, not speak to their blindness! Every step of this journey, is one of faith. Jesus alone is good. Their eyes were opened but interestingly, Jesus includes them in this miracle. According to your faith let it be done. Wow, LORD, forgive and help any of my unbelief. I want to be full of faith. I want to have that childlike faith untainted from the world. We shouldn't assume that God will just answer our demands, no He knows who He is, but do we come to Him knowing who He is? We all are continually growing in our faith, yet with all we are now, do we come to Him in faith?

Lord, we do believe and we know from Your Word and past experiences that you can heal our bodies and our souls. Yet I pray with all my heart, Lord help my unbelief.
