In the bible, it says in Mark 10:46 “And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.” Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was coming down the street. He began to cry out for Jesus to have mercy on him. The people around him, told him to be quiet. But Bartimaeus cried even louder. He cried so loud that Jesus heard him and called for him. He was brought to Jesus. Jesus asked him what he wanted and Bartimaeus asked for his sight to be restored. His sight was restored and the story says he followed Jesus. It is interesting what the man asked for the first time he met Jesus. I know what I asked for. Besides salvation, I asked Jesus for wisdom to understand the world around me. I didn’t know how the world worked and I wanted to know. He gave me more than I asked for. I understand things far beyond me. I see things before they happen, just by looking at them. I have a question for you, what will you ask for or did ask for? Did it change your life completely? Do you even understand what it was that you asked for or will ask for? It is interesting what God has placed in our hearts to ask for. And many times, we don’t even know it. But God is in control of the universe. Despite what we think or believe. God is sovereign. Thank God, He loves us more than anything. So, what will you ask God?
