Fear can blind you
Morning: Psalm 137:1-6, 144; Micah 7:1-11; I Peter 4:7-19
A
crowd tries to silence two blind men who call to Jesus for mercy.
Jesus ignores the crowd and, out of compassion, heals the blind men.
Isn’t it the crowd that’s really blind? Compassion sees suffering and responds with mercy. Some in the crowd probably do
see. But compassionate action takes courage … you may have to go
against the crowd. Fear can blind you. Is there some fear that keeps
you from seeing where you need to act with mercy? Is there some crowd
mentality – fitting in, being accepted, being liked – from which you
need to break free?
