Mark 7:32
There are those who might try to point out an error here. To say that one was deaf and had difficulty speaking seems to show an ignorance of the condition of the deaf. Though to be sure this condition was not as fully understood then as it is in modern times, this wording does not necessarily betray ignorance.
We see int he following verses that the man was healed of his deafness. But, in addition to that, he was made to speak plainly. Now, if a deaf person’s hearing were improved, they would not instantly begin to talk plainly. Some re-learning would need to take place. So, we understand the greater extent of the miracle in that this person was unable to hear, and could not speak plainly as a result, or even had a mouth or tongue malformation. In which case he was healed on both counts instantly. And the following verses are worded to indicate as much.
Psalm 68:1-70:5
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Heavenly Father, you know us better than we know ourselves. You can see through our thoughts and actions and see to what really makes us tick. Thank you for your amazing faithfulness. You never fail! I am so glad that you know us and have made a way for us to know you. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Pray for a mother and daughter that need salvation.
