Summary

When Obedience Unlocks Miracles: John 9: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael Groll talks about how transformation happens when we participate in what God is doing. She explains that miracles don’t usually start with something big or dramatic … they start with small, simple steps of obedience. Rachael helps listeners see that when we respond to God in the little things, our faith grows, our understanding deepens, and we begin to recognize how He’s working in our lives. This conversation invites you to pay attention to the quiet places where God is asking you to trust Him. ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆Get Ad-Free Episodes, Bonus Content, and more here: ⁠ patreon.com/HearingJesus ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here: ➤  Sponsor a Child ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

The man received sight after following Jesus' instruction. Participation in miracles involves our actions. Understanding miracles requires our involvement. Faith is expressed through steps of obedience. Jesus could have healed immediately but chose not to. Our small acts of obedience matter in the spiritual journey. Miracles help us understand God's work. Transformation often requires our participation. Obedience is a key element in experiencing God's miracles.

Hey friends, I'm Rachel Grohl and I'm your host for the Hearing Jesus podcast where I help you to know God and to make him known.

0:41.8

As I've gotten older, I've realized that most of us have moments in our lives where we feel stuck.

0:48.6

And it's happened to me a couple times where I literally cannot see the way forward.

0:52.7

Sometimes that's been like in my career or my ministry

0:55.8

or sometimes it's been in relationships. And one of the things that I think has been an encouragement

1:00.6

to me in those seasons is John chapter 9. John chapter 9 tells the story of a man who is born

1:07.3

blind and Jesus literally brings physical healing and spiritual sight in his life.

1:14.9

And so I'm going to get into it because it's kind of a long passage. It's 41 verses. We're going to do

1:19.1

all of John chapter 9 today. It's not just about restoring sight though. What I want you to think

1:24.7

He's confronting pride, actually, and he's helping us to understand what it really means to see

1:34.9

and then follow Jesus. And so there's some questions of the disciples. There's a testimony. There's

1:56.6

Again, this is John chapter 9. As Jesus passed by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

2:04.3

And his disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned? This man or his parents said he would be born

2:09.1

blind. Jesus answered, it was neither that this man sinned nor his parents, but it was so that

2:16.0

the works of God might be displayed in him.

2:18.9

We must carry out the works of him who sent me as long as it is day. Night is coming when no one can
