Just some thoughts when i was looking at these verses..hehe.
Matthew 9:27-30
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; and their sight was restored.
Are there any sins in our life that we're unable to overcome, any problems that we foresee or are even facing right now? Be it studies, work, family, temptations, contacts not responding, starting school soon...the list goes on. And we may wonder, how are we gonna cope? It seems so tough, everything seems to be coming our way. But Jesus didn't ask the people to have outstanding strength or self-confidence, he didn't even ask them to have an extraordinary amount of faith. Just this: "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" God can and God will make a way; He will help us overcome. Not by works, not by our own strength, effort, abilities etc., but by God. After all, He's the One who moves the mountains. Not the size of our faith or abilities, but the size of our God, and all glory goes to Him. :)
2 Chronicles 20:12
...We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.
We can't, but God can. We aren't, but God is. Jiayou! :)
