What a difference there is between Jesus giving a sign and the Pharisees
demanding a sign! Miracles are given when the Lord decides - not when
we demand: "If these people are given a sign, it will be far different
from what they want!" (Mark 8:12). A blind man came to Jesus. His sight
Was restored - "He could see everything clearly, even at a distance"
(Mark 8:25). The Pharisees couldn't see - "Don't you catch on yet?"
(Mark 8:21). 'Open our eyes, Lord. We want to see Jesus.'
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
