SHOUT LOUDER
Today's reading: Numbers 5:1-6:21, Mark 10:35-52, Psalm 49:1-9

"When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout out, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Be quiet! some of the people yelled at him. But he only shouted louder..." Mark 10:47-48 NLT

Let me ask you something...

If you were in Bartimaeus' shoes...

If the Healer you had heard so much about was right there in front of you...

If you knew the One who could remove your blindness was within your reach...

If you had finally found the shaft of Light at the end of a long, dark tunnel...

Would anyone have been able to keep you quiet?

Would you have continued to cry out to Jesus until you felt you were heard? Until He responded? Until there was a change in your need or in your heart? Would you have only gotten louder?
