So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you." And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.
Mark 10:49-50
God is calling out to you right now; He desires to speak with you and to guide you. So what will your response be? The blind man threw off his coat and ran after Jesus. Did you catch the significance of him taking off his coat? As a blind homeless beggar in the streets, he needed that coat every night to keep warm. Yet he was willing to throw it aside to come to Jesus.
So, what are you holding on to that you need to cast aside? Is there any materialism that is keeping you from rising up and giving your time and efforts to the Lord Jesus? Nothing was going to stand in the way of this blind man receiving a touch from Jesus; clearly he was living by faith and not by sight.
It doesn't matter if you've been following the Lord for one year or twenty years; we all have things in our lives that need to be stripped off. Let everything go that you are holding on to. Cast it aside and come to Jesus Christ.
