What is the connection between this blind man and Rahab? Jericho! Jesus was in Jericho! And the other connection is…? Faith! When Jesus asked what the man wanted from Him, he answered, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” Both this man and Rahab had unequivocal faith that God would provide what they needed—how refreshing! Have we let God’s answers of “No” and “Wait” dim our faith? Do we pray with a caveat thinking God may or may not answer this prayer? Do we teach others to do the same? We should pay attention to Jesus’ question, “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth” (Luke 18:8).
