Mark 2 tells the account of four men who brought their incapacitated friend to Jesus to be healed. Because of the large crowd, they opened a hole in the roof of the house and let the man down in front of Jesus. Jesus said, “Son, your sins are forgiven” (Mark 2:5).
Blackaby sensed the Spirit of God saying, “Henry, did you see that?” The four men asked Jesus to physically heal the man, but Jesus forgave the men’s sins. They asked for one thing, and Jesus gave another!
Blackaby responded, “O God, if I ever ask You for one thing and You have more to give me than I am asking, please cancel my request!”
As Paul points out in Ephesians 3:20-21, God always has far more to give me than I can ever ask or think. Let God give you all He wants to bestow.
