5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   John 9:18-23

¹⁸ These leaders did not believe that he had been blind and could now see again. So they sent for the man’s parents ¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

²⁰ His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. ²¹ But we don’t know how he can now see. We don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.” ²² His parents said this because they were afraid of the elders, who had already decided that anyone who said Jesus was the Christ would be avoided.²³ That is why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, I pray that You will capture our minds and draw our hearts to that which has been prepared for us. May we, with child-like anticipation, keep our attention drawn to the eternal truths of Your Word that remind us of our future inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.  It will lift our face toward heaven; our future home where we will enjoy a sinless atmosphere, never-ending fellowship with our brothers and sisters and the majesty of Your presence forever. Amen.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
