In the book of Matthew, you will find a story recorded about two blind men that came to Jesus for healing. This was not so uncommon at that time because Jesus was performing a lot of miracles and healing. As they followed the crowds and heard the message with their ears, they knew enough to know in their heart that this man Jesus had the ability to heal them.

This belief was confirmed in the story because they called him first, Lord then they followed that up with the Son of David. This indicated that they recognized Him as the promised Messiah.

We are not given very much information about these two men other than they too were on the road going from Jericho to Jerusalem. This is just before His triumphant entry into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey and many crowds of people were following Him everywhere He went because He was healing and proclaiming the message about the Kingdom of God.

They were persistent. They asked twice for Jesus to have mercy on them and then again in order to answer the question that Jesus asked them. Three times they spoke to Jesus each time they put Lord first. They knew exactly what they wanted from Jesus and when He asked them, they said they wanted their eyes opened. The Bible says Jesus had compassion on them, touched their eyes, healed them and they followed him. Matt 20-:29-34

The Bible doesn’t record that they went home to get belongings or tell the family the good news or that they had an agenda of things to do before they could follow the Lord. They recognized who could provide for their needs, they accepted that He was who He claimed to be, the son of David, the promised Messiah. They went to the only source, and they trusted that source for their needs. Not only immediate needs but future needs.

What hinders you from having “blind faith” as these two men? We see, but many times our faith is so weak that we do not trust our problem in the hands of a loving and caring heavenly Father.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear? For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:25-33
