Even the Spittle of the Light

[S] John 9:5-7 --

⁵"While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."

⁶When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

⁷and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent) So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

[O] We consider spit as a lowly and dirty element. In fact, spitting at someone else in a soccer game will demand a red card (ejected from the game). Not sure of the cultural context back then but just after Jesus announces that He is the Light of the world, he spat and made clay of the spittle to heal the blind man. Even the lowliest element of the Light of this world has the power to heal and open our eyes.

[A] At times, God asks me to do some weird things, some considered to be taboo in our culture for example. But I have to trust that He is the Lord of all cultures we live on earth and follow His instructions to the dot in order to reveal His power.

[P] Dear God, I want to trust You more in my life such that I will carry out actions that I normally would not consider doing at the signal of your command. Continue to teach me to learn to recognize Your voice and to apply into my actions. In Jesus' name. Amen.
