| MEN LIKE TREES WALKING |
Jesus came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. (Mark 8:22-25 NKJV)
When Jesus laid hands on this blind man, he did not see clearly at first. He looked up and saw men carrying sheaves on their heads down the street and they looked like walking trees to him. Jesus did not say, "That's good enough, be on your way." He laid hands on the man once again and his vision was completely restored without any blurriness.

was good. Not just, "That'll do."
Sometimes I struggle in my faith when I see God starting to
answer my prayers, then suddenly we stop making progress. But I was reminded
the other day that He is…
