John 9:1-11<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

“…Master, who did sin…that he was….”<\/font><\/b> (2).<\/p>\n

Lesson: Don’t make assumptions or jump to conclusions about the reasons behind another’s condition or “misfortune” — God’s thoughts and ways are far higher than yours. Your great perceptions may be nothing more than unjust misconceptions.<\/p>\n

“…But that the works of God should be made manifest in him”<\/font><\/b> (3).<\/p>\n

Lesson: Don’t argue with God’s plans and purposes. He is always just. And right. And inerrant. And loving. And grace-giving.<\/p>\n

Question: Would I endure a lifetime of blindness just so God’s works could be shown in me? Yes? Well, then, what else will I endure for Him and His purposes and His glory?<\/p>\n

“…And made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes…with the clay”<\/font><\/b> (6).<\/p>\n

Lesson: Don’t reject God’s ways. Don’t even argue with them. He knows what He’s doing. Always.<\/p>\n

“…Jesus…said unto me, Go…and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight”<\/font><\/b> (11).<\/p>\n

Lesson: Do what God says. His ways and methods always work as He intends. They are fail-safe. Go ahead and stick out your neck! Just do it!!<\/p>\n
