CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Noticed and helped

“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. — Mark 10:51

Walking into the town of Jericho, Jesus was surrounded by a roaring crowd, but that did not keep him from hearing the cries of a person who truly needed his help. Other people ignored or rebuked this “nobody” named Bartimaeus v48, but Jesus saw his faith and called him v49.

With God’s help, we must learn, despite life’s distractions, to train our eyes to see and our ears to hear the needs of people around us. When Bartimaeus came over to him, Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” This question shows Jesus’ focus on serving the needs of others. And never did he say, “Now you owe me.” Instead, highlighting the man’s trust in him, Jesus said, “Go . . . your faith has healed you.”

We learn from Jesus the importance of being selfless and not losing sight of our mission. We recognize that our mission as disciples of Christ is to be attentive to our community and to include the people we meet, day in and day out. We remember that our help must go out to others, not just to those who can help us.

PRAYER

Lord, make me strong despite life’s difficulty and use me to make a difference in the lives of others for your glory. In Jesus’ name Amen.
