Overcoming Against all Odds

The story of 'Blind Bartimaeus' as told in the gospel of Mark is an account of the extraordinary faith of a blind beggar who was about to be rewarded as Jesus of Nazareth the long awaited Messiah passed by. So often when reading familiar Bible stories we see only the story as it is literally told but fail to receive the deep rich spiritual truths that God has prepared for us before the foundation of the world that will bless encourage and enable us to receive godly wisdom to help us in our personal situations.
