John 9:1-7:
As He passed along, He noticed a man blind from his birth. 2 His disciples asked Him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? 3 Jesus answered, It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but he was born blind in order that the workings of God should be manifested (displayed and illustrated) in him. 4 We must work the works of Him Who sent Me and be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s Light. 6 When He had said this, He spat on the ground and made clay (mud) with His saliva, and He spread it [as ointment] on the man’s eyes. 7 And He said to him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam—which means Sent. So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
I hope as you read and meditated on this portion of Scripture today that you noticed the MOST important message in it! The MOST important message was NOT how this man came to be born blind, but on what "the works of Him Who sent Me" are! Immediately after Jesus declared that He must do these works, HE HEALED THE MAN! These are the works of God! THIS is the 'business' of the Father! Remember that the Word of God IS the will of God. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us this:
14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.

Once you know what the will of God is concerning you and your life and family, then you can boldly and confidently pray the Word and stand strong in faith EXPECTING it to come to pass! What a glorious life He has provided for us to live, HERE and NOW! And SO MUCH MORE in the next life. We will NOT need to fight the fight of faith in the next life, so let's pour ourselves into it now! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free again with "Say The Word", which is OUR job to do!
Shalom in Him!
