The Deaf and Mute Man: Ears Opened, Tongue Loosed

A devotional reflection on the man whose hearing and speech Jesus restored.

Miracles of Restoration

Jesus restores communication and connection. This man lived cut off from sound and unable to speak clearly. Jesus took him aside privately, touched him, and spoke a word of power. His healing shows Jesus’ tenderness and His ability to restore what connects us to others.

Be opened. (Mark 7:34)

And straightway his ears were opened. (Mark 7:35)

He hath done all things well. (Mark 7:37)

Christian Application

This devotional encourages believers that Jesus can heal communication – both physical and relational. Ask Jesus to open your ears to His voice and loosen your tongue to speak grace.

Sample Prayer

Lord, open my ears to hear You clearly. Loosen my tongue to speak truth and love. Amen.

Hymns for Miracles of Restoration

This devotional pairs well with the hymns Open My Eyes That I May See by Clara Scott, I Love to Tell the Story by Katherine Hankey, and Blessed Assurance by Fanny Crosby.
