Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decapʹolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him. And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephʹphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.”
Lord Jesus, yes, you have done all things well. How much more do you wish to do for us today? If we only have the faith of a mustard seed, we could move mountains! Dear Lord, you are always ready to provide for our needs, if you so will it. Help us to be grateful for all of our blessings, and blessings that you wish to give us. Amen.
