And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord." Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."

Jesus still asks that soul piercing question, "Do you believe?" but all too often our answer masks an element of doubt covered by a hope that He will be fooled. But He is not!

Jesus asks if I have committed my life to serving Him, will I love and honor Him above all others, will I love my neighbor as myself? Will I? And my answer is a weak and flabby, "I hope so."

These men left praising the Lord. How do I react when a prayer is answered?
