He is always near

And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” (Matthew 20:30, 31 ESV)

Imagine being in the position of these 2 blind men.  They have heard the news about Jesus giving sight to the blind and they hear that He is now close by.  They begin to call out to Him, yet the crowds are telling them to be quiet...I can't blame them for shouting out even more.  This was their chance to have their sight restored.  

I think this describes us and how we need to be in our day to day lives.  We know that we are sinners in need of our Saviour.  We cry out to God, seeking His intervention, then the worldly voices of doubt try to quiet us by saying that God's not real, or you must have done something wrong to deserve the current circumstance.  This is when we must cry out even louder, and be even more persistent, because we know that Christ is near...and the best news is...He is always near.
