Believe Ye

I was reading in the book of Matthew in chapter nine and I noticed something very interesting to me that I would like to share. In verse eighteen there come a certain ruler who worshipped Jesus saying my daughter is near death would you be so kind as to come and lay your hand upon her so she could live. Jesus began to head toward the rulers home when all of a sudden a woman comes out of nowhere that had a disease and touched Jesus' garment. She told herself that if she would but touch His garment she would be healed and she was. All this was great for this woman but just before this the ruler was told that his daughter had died. All hope that his daughter would be healed is now gone and this ruler's hope and heart just falls. We then read that Jesus came to his home anyways and while He was there He raised the little girl from the dead. What caught my attention is what happens next with the two blind men

Matthew 9:27
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

Matthew 9:28
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

Matthew 9:29
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

First thing that I noticed is that these two blind men were following and crying and asking for Jesus to have mercy on them. If Jesus said anything to them it's not recorded. It was not until they came into a home that Jesus spoke to them and this is what He said
Believe ye that I am able to do this?
That is it! So it is with mine and your life do we really believe that Jesus can do what we are asking Him? Their response was "Yes Lord"; that's the way we should also respond but we don't always respond that way. Therefore we limit our blessing from the Lord because of disbelieve which effects our faith. We read next that Jesus touched their eyes and according to their faith in what Jesus would do for them they were able to see. So do you and I believe that what we ask the Lord to do He will do? Maybe our faith needs a boost we may not be putting the trust we need to in the Lord and therefore we are working all our troubles out ourselves. This week put more faith and trust in the Lord and ask Him to help you. If He took the time for the woman with a blood disease and two men with eye problems don't you think He will take time for you also?
