LET HIM KNOW

Have you ever gone to bed shrugging your shoulders and saying to yourself, "I have no idea what the Lord is going to do about this problem. I guess I'll just leave everything to Him." The flaw in this approach is that there are times when the Lord wants to draw you into closer fellowship with Him by having you tell Him what you'd like to have or do! Constantly resigning yourself to an attitude of "I don't know what I want; I'll just see what falls into my lap" can defeat the Lord's purpose of training you to actively work and learn to take co-responsibility with Him. That is why He often asked those who came to Him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" One illustration of this is the story in the Bible of the blind man, Bartimaeus, who, as Jesus passed, started shouting, "'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'...'What do you want me to do for you?' 'Go," said Jesus, 'your faith has healed you.' Immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road" Can you imagine the Son of God asking a blind person, "What do you want me to do for you?" This question keenly demonstrates how much He longs to establish two-way communication with each of us. So before we sleep everynight, spend some time thinking through what we really want...what we really want Him to do for us. Then, ask Him and peacefully await His response.
