“Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more.” Mark 10:48
What were they telling him? Shut up! Nobody wants to hear what you have to say! This isn’t the right place. This isn’t the right time… Nobody’s ever done it that way before… You can’t do that, just be silent.
We have to quit worrying about what other people think. In this particular situation, everyone else was wrong. Everyone else told him he shouldn’t do it that way.
But he didn’t care what the protocol was. He didn’t care if all the people agreed that you just don’t approach Jesus that way. He knew he needed help and he wasn’t going to be denied.
Have you prayed for something and God hasn’t answered you yet? Keep on calling out to God. Do you have a need and God hasn’t met it yet? Keep on calling out to God. Are you hurting and don’t have an answer? Keep on calling out to God. You will not be denied.
Are people telling you to give up? Are people telling you to quit? Are people telling you that God doesn’t care? Are you worried about what other people think or what other people will say? Are you concerned about how it might look? Are you worried that other people will think you crazy or you’re a fanatic?
Stop worrying. Don’t quit. Don’t give up. Your miracle is closer than you could think.
Father, help me to only gaze my focus on you till my answer come IJN.
Shalom!
