Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Imagine you are a blind beggar who somehow knows that the guy who is passing you by can heal and and give you sight. What would you do? Now imagine you call out to him and he answers you. What would be going on inside you? He tells you your faith has made you well and you rejoice and follow him on his journey. But what about those of us who cry out to Jesus for healing and the answer is apparently no? Does this mean we don't have the needed faith? Not so fast, my friends. Better check out what Job has to say about this! Lectionary readings for today are Job 42.1-6, 10-17; Psalm 34.1-8 19-22; Hebrews 7.23-28; Mark 10.46-52.
