Reason to Worship

"Then the man said,"Lord, I believe," and he worshipped Him. (John 9:38)
This is a front page story, a man born blind received his sight, a miracle which the Pharisees found disturbing. For the more they investigated, the more they were faced with a decision regarding the Sight- giver. They are unwilling to admit in their unbelief what the man born blind was only to willing to acknowledge. "Believing with the heart, the man professed his faith in Christ: "Lord, I believe you to be the Son of God." Oh yes! He not only gave HIM the civil respect due to a great man but he gave HIM the divine honour and WORSHIPED HIM as the SON of GOD come in the flesh.
None but GOD is to be worshiped, and by worshiping Jesus, the man acknowledged HIM to be GOD. True faith will show itself in humble adoration of the Lord Jesus. Thus we who believe in Him will see all the reason in the world to worship Him.
Therefore as we cope with the trails that come our way, let the account of this miracle comfort us. Let God know that, though we may not understand the "why" of our suffering, we do rejoice that He will be glorified by its outcome. Regardless of our circumstances, He is worthy of our confidence and our worship. Praise God.

That was awesome! To think it may sound so insignificant just to say those words! "Lord, I believe you to be the Son of God"
Thank you for reminding us there is power in confession, there is power in believing the name of JESUS! Praise God.
