Pursuing Miracles Blindly

Marco…. Marco…..MARCO!!!….. Yet to no avail there is no response to steer you in the right direction. So you fling your arms around desperately hoping to make contact but once again your feeble attempts amount to nothing. Exhausted from frustration you mumble underneath your breath, “Where to now, where do I go from here.” Your microwave world is stuck on pause and there is no fast way of obtaining your desire, your miracle. You must proceed the hard way down the road of most resistance. Whatever happened to customers must come first; it’s our responsibility to make the customer satisfied. Well, that was thrown out the window along with your dignity. And now you are forced to wait in this never ending line of complainers.
Why can’t people follow after the example Burger King set out for us, “Have it your way.” Well this is obviously not your way and no one seems to mind. Your need can’t be met by a cheap fix, no this has to become a drawn out process. One where you were neither fully equipped for nor prepared, but nevertheless you’ve realized no one is coming to your rescue, it is sully up to you. You are forced to become the Kobe Bryant on the team with limited weapons.
How can you accomplish anything without the ability to see and be able to remain confident about it, it makes it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But this is exactly how God works; He makes us search out our miracles. He very well may set it up but we must be able to knock it down. He puts us in a place where we must take initiative and at some point take action. For instance take this man who was born blind in John 9. Years have obviously past by and yet he remains with this disability, living life in complete darkness never being able to see life as you and I take it for granted. Always depending on everybody else but himself, Jesus’ disciples were puzzled, “who sinned” they asked. Jesus simply responded, “No one this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” Then Jesus spits on the ground and makes mud with His saliva and puts it on the man’s eyes. Then He tells him, “GO, and wash it in the Pool of Sent.” So the man WENT and washed, and came home seeing.
Responding to Jesus’ directions, while walking with Jesus’ man made mud in your eyes. Being sent to the Pool of Sent he walked in the darkness in the surroundings of the unsure the unsafe. But that is how God works, He will direct us to walk through the uncertainty to precede in the unsure the darkness so that we can receive our miracle, our blessing. If God took suffering away whenever we desired, we would follow him for comfort and convenience, not out of pure love and devotion. Not out of a passion; just to be with him, but sully to receive His blessings. Our God is a God that desperately wants us to seek His face not only His hands.
We cannot simply defer our opposition to adjust our expectations, in this microwave world we must learn to endure the process of God. We must learn to become patient while walking blind to pursue our miracles. We must understand that this pursuit after God is a faith walk and we cannot resolve our trying times by going on the internet and goggling for directions or answers. His words are slowly marinated into the deepest parts of our souls, where we will hear the resounding gong of peace. Remember next time you put something in the microwave, not everything in life is going to be that easy. This thing called life is a process one that no one can be fully equipped for, we must learn how to adapt and become victorious through Christ.
