Cool thing this morning. In Mark 8:22 (ish) Jesus healed the blind guy at Bethsaida by spitting in his eyes. I thought 'how very offensive of Jesus. Couldn't he come up with a better way?' I mean, gross! But the guy knew he was blind. He needed God to do something. Then I thought of Revelations 3:17 where He calls the church of Laodacea 'blind and poor and wretched' though they thought they could see and had no lack. I need Him to spit in my eyes. I'd rather know now, and see what He sees, hear what He hears, and feel what He feels. I don't act right blind. I try, but I don't really commit to the action. It's half hearted at best. I'm okay with being insulted. At least I want to be.
