Verse Takeaways

Use the Senses You Have
Commentator Charles Spurgeon highlights a powerful lesson: the blind man couldn't see, but he could hear and speak. He used the abilities he possessed to inquire about the commotion. This serves as a reminder for believers to not be defined by their limitations but to use every faculty they have—their voice, their hearing, their mind—to seek after Jesus. God honors the use of what we've been given.
