As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road. When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening. They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was going by. So he began shouting, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" "Be quiet!" the people in front yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
โLuke 18:35-39 NLT
Key Thought
So often we let the noise and commotion of our crowded lives distract us from Jesus' presence in our lives. Deep down, we know that we need time in his presence โ time that comes from prayer and reading the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament). So let's intentionally cry out each day, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Let's invite Jesus into our busy lives. When we let all our distractions and responsibilities crowd Jesus out of our lives, let's shout louder! If the blind man in Jesus' day wouldn't be silenced until he came into the presence of Jesus, then we shouldn't settle for anything less today.
Today's Prayer
Father, forgive me for letting the noise and "busyness" of my life crowd Jesus out of my life. Make my heart yearn to learn more of Jesus each day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
