“And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.”
Mark 10:46-52 ESV
All,This stands out because Bartimaeus says, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” By calling Jesus the son of David, he is acknowledging Jesus to be the Christ. Do we remind ourselves to whom we are praying? I find it helpful to remind myself to whom I’m praying every time. He is the creator of everything. He knows the future. He knows what other parties are thinking in a decision. He died so we can have a relationship with Him. I’m sure you can say 1,000 more. Please pray that we and our friends remember to whom we are speaking. Please pray for the Pfohl family.
