Worship This Week
There are times when we are to be silent and reflective, humble and respectful, knowing we are in the Presence of the Lord. However, there are other times that we may need to shout out to Jesus! Even when others tell us it is not appropriate, we need to shout out anyway! That is what “Blind Bartimaeus” did. In spite of the ridicule of others, Bartimaeus’ faith made him well. For us to have vision, vision in our personal lives, vision for our church, we need to have FAITH. We need to believe in ourselves, but more importantly, we need to BELIEVE God – not just believe IN God, but BELIEVE God - BELIEVE the promises, the hope, the Good News. “Blind Bartimaeus” had faith AND he believed! When we have faith, we will always “see.” We will never be “blind.”
