We read a fascinating story in John 9, where Jesus heals a blind man since birth. After the blind man was cast out of the temple for claiming the man who healed him was from God, Jesus found him and asked him “Do you believe in the Son of God?” (John 9:35).
When he came to understand the man speaking to him was Jesus, the Son of God who healed him, “Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped Him” (John 9:38).
This man gave the perfect response and following action to Jesus’ question, the response and action that He desires from everyone. And when we are reading His Word and we come across a Scripture that stirs us, grips us, convicts us, and/or our behavior, may we quickly fall to our knees and cry out “Lord I believe” and move into pure, heart-felt, unbridled worship of the One who loves us and died for us that we would spend eternity with Him. Oh, how He loves us.
Oh Jesus, thank You for Your Word that we can read, pray, and shout out loud Your truth. We are so overcome with gratitude and amazement of this story; our soul literally jumps with excitement. May we bow down to You, oh Most High, and gladly, yet humbly cry out Lord, I believe and worship You unashamedly, with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Amen
