What Do You See?

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. John 5:10

This man had sat by a pool for 38 years waiting to be healed. And now that he had finally received his miracle the Jews wanted to know why he was acting upon it. Really?! With something this miraculous happening right before their eyes, their concern is, "Why are you carrying your bed on the sabbath?" It begs the question: Am I missing out on a miracle to question the result? We often get caught up in cynicism when we could be enjoying the benefits. When God works a miracle in your life or in someone's life around you, joy in the blessing instead of lookng around for a down-side--choose to see the the lame man walking, not a man "working on the sabbath".
