Call louder than before!

Matthew 20:29 - 34 talks about two blind men receiving their sight through Jesus. These verses do more than simply recount one of Jesus' miracles. In verse 30 the two blind men hear that Jesus is coming and begin to call out to Him, asking for mercy. They wanted to be healed by Jesus and called out loudly so that He would hear them. But in verse 31 the crowd around them warns them to stay quiet. However they aren't silenced by the crowd, rather they call out louder than ever to Jesus. There is a lesson to be learned here. We must be like the two blind men who called out loudly to Jesus and who rejected the crowds warnings to be silent, but rather called out all the more! In our world today many will tell us to be quiet and stop calling out for God, it makes them uncomfortable, they don't like it, they just don't want to hear it. We have to remember that when the world tells us to be silent, we must be even louder! Never stop proclaiming the name of Jesus! Never back down and sit quietly just because those around you told you to be quiet! Keep calling out to Jesus louder and louder! Don't let anyone stop you from proclaiming His name!
