CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
QIC discussed his practice of sticking to tasks, to-do’s etc throughout his day – sometimes being so focused on what he perceives as priority, he misses the call to help another person as he’s either “too busy” or it’s “inconvenient.” Jesus was not like that. We see this in Mark 10: 46-52, when Jesus heals a blind man days away crucifixion and in the midst of his mission to save the world. With all he had going on, the crowd, the knowledge that he would soon die a brutal death, Jesus stopped – dead in his tracks – for a poor blind beggar.
Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
Pray that each of us become more like Jesus in this story – that we can set aside “priority” tasks, to-do’s, and other orders to stop, listen and obey the Holy Spirit’s call on our lives.
