1. Read John 9:1-41. Notice the different kinds of blindness; physical and spiritual. Can you think of other ways that people are blind today? Evaluate your life…are you blind to certain sins and their power over you? Pray for clarity, to see yourself and to receive Jesus healing power.
2. Read Matthew 15:1-20. We’d all agree that personal hygiene is important. Germs and microscopic bacteria are prevalent in our world, even if we can’t see them. A person can become sick by ingesting unwashed fruits or vegetables. Notice what Jesus said about being ‘defiled.’ Reflect on the cleansing power of Jesus’ blood. Eat and drink of Him.
3. Read Luke 16:13. We live in one of the most wealthy and prosperous nations on the face of the earth. Most anything we want is at our fingertips. This is a blessing…and a curse. When sick…to whom do we turn first, the Savior or the Doctor? When there is a shortage in income, do we turn to the Savior first or fret a bit first? What does it mean to serve money first before God? List the blessings you have been given. Ask God how these gifts can be used to serve others.
4. As you go about your life today, shopping for groceries or making a trip to the post office or the library, do a little “people watching.” What do you see? Whom do you see? Pray for an opportunity. Who could you share a conversation with or even invite to lunch?
