Mud on your face

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. (John 9:1-7 NIV)

How many of us sitting in front of God with mud on our faces and telling God " if you remove the mud I will go "? How many of us are waiting for God to do something before we move? How many of us are waiting in our uncertainty for things to be more clear before you move in the direction God is calling you to? What journey is God calling you on that you want all the details first?

The blind man could of refused to go because he couldn't see what was in front of him. He could of refused to go on the journey Jesus told him to go. Why was the man blind from birth anyways?

God doesn't always give you step by step details because He wants you to trust Him more.
Maybe through your journey your miracle awaits.
Maybe God wants to do something in you that can only be explained by knowing Go did it.

You may be completely blind or Jesus may have put mud in your eyes. Either way He has a journey for you and if you trust Him you'll go home seeing.
