In Mark 8:22–26, Jesus heals a blind man in a way that stands out from His other miracles. When Jesus arrived in Bethsaida, a place marked by spiritual apathy and hardened hearts, some people brought a blind man to Him and pleaded for healing. Instead of performing the miracle on the spot, Jesus took the man by the hand and led him away from the village.

When you step out and use what God places in your hands, things begin to shift. In Matthew 25, the ones who put their talents to work saw an increase. The one who hid his talents did not. The message is clear: faithfulness leads to fruitfulness.
