John 9:6-7 (LSB) 6 When He had said this, He spat on the ground, made clay of the saliva, and rubbed the clay on his eyes, 7 and said to him, \u201cGo, wash in the pool of Siloam<\/span>\u201d (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.<\/p>\n

When a person has lost their sight, or perhaps they have been born blind, they seek help to gain or regain their eyesight.<\/p>\n

The man in the verses above was seen by Jesus and His disciples as they walked by. The Bible says he was blind from birth.<\/p>\n

Jesus knew it was meant for Him to heal the blind man and give him his sight.<\/p>\n

Jesus could have simply spoken a word or laid His hands on the man\u2019s eyes to heal them.<\/p>\n

But He chose to do something different than the expected norm.<\/p>\n

Jesus spat on the ground, mixed his saliva with dirt, making mud. He then rubbed that mud on the blind man\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

Then, He instructed the blind man to go to the pool of Siloam and wash away the mud.<\/p>\n

The man obeyed. And when he had washed, he was no longer blind. He had been healed!<\/p>\n

No matter how we look at this, spitting in dirt and rubbing mud on the man\u2019s eyes is not conventional, nor an expected way to heal someone.<\/p>\n

But this is how Jesus chose to do it. The reasons<\/i> He did so are irrelevant.<\/p>\n

And this is how God moves; in the way He sees fit.<\/p>\n

We may never know the reasons He chooses to move in these specific ways, but that is not for us to know or understand.<\/p>\n

God may move a specific way for one situation. And then He may choose to move in a completely different<\/i> way for a situation that appears to be very similar.<\/p>\n

We should never box God in and demand or expect Him to do things the same way repeatedly.<\/p>\n

On one occasion, He told Moses to strike a rock. And water gushed out. On another occasion, He instructed Moses to speak to the rock. Similar situations with different instructions.<\/p>\n

It may not always be healing that we need. But regardless of the need, it pays to do as God shows us to do.<\/p>\n
