Dave Edlers Ramblings

Two blind men are sitting on the side of the road and hear that Jesus is passing by and start crying out, “Have mercy on us son of David.” The crowd that is following tries to quite them. But they own’t be silenced. They cry out all the more. There are always things that try to silence us. Things we feel or sense that keep us from crying out all the more for the things we want or need God to do for us. We feel unworthy, so we stop crying out. We don’t see progress, so we stop crying out. I could go on but that is not the point of this story. Nor is it the reason the story is in our bibles. The story is there to encourage us to keep crying out! Jesus stops and asks, “What is it you want me to do for you?” Then he heals them. The point of the story…don’t stop crying out!
