What steps can we take to recognize Jesus' work in our daily lives? The miracle retold “He answered, ‘The man they call Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, “Go to Siloam and wash.” So I went and washed, and then I could see.’” (John 9:11) Seeing Jesus’ signature In one verse we spot a pattern that still unfolds in our own routines: • Jesus initiates. • He gives a clear, doable instruction. • Obedience opens our eyes. • New sight leads to a simple, grateful testimony. Practical steps for recognizing His work today 1. Remember what He has already done • Pause each day to list yesterday’s mercies (Psalm 103:2). • Trace big answers to prayer and quiet nudges—both carry His fingerprint (James 1:17). 2. Stay in the light of His Word • Read Scripture expecting direction; it never returns empty (Isaiah 55:11). • Let verses linger in thought throughout the day; they tune the heart to His voice (Psalm 119:105). 3. Obey promptly, even when the step looks ordinary • The blind man’s “Go…wash” wasn’t glamorous, just clear; our tasks often feel the same (Luke 5:4-6). • Immediate obedience keeps spiritual eyesight sharp (John 14:21). 4. Watch for the change He promised • Fruit of the Spirit, growing patience, or fresh courage signal His ongoing touch (Galatians 5:22-23). • Our inner vision adjusts as He works—like mud washed away, clarity follows compliance (2 Corinthians 3:18). 5. Speak up about what you notice • The man didn’t craft a sermon; he simply reported realities: “I went… I washed… I see.” • Sharing aloud cements recognition and strengthens others (Psalm 66:16; Revelation 12:11). 6. Stay expectant—He doesn’t change • “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) • If He opened eyes on a dusty Jerusalem road, He can open ours over coffee, at work, in traffic. A closing snapshot Live alert to His initiation, ready for plain-spoken instructions, quick to obey, and eager to recount the results. That simple rhythm keeps us recognizing Jesus’ work—today, tomorrow, and every ordinary day ahead. |
