Happy July 4th
Cease from Doubting!!
"He whom thou lovest is sick" (John 11:3).
When Jesus heard that, he sent them a message: "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby" (vs. 4).
Are you having some doubt about the Lord's power in your situation? Whatever you are facing today, it will not lead to death.
Jesus loved Lazarus and He also dearly loved his two sisters, Mary and Martha.
Jesus knew that his Father intended for this miracle to give him glory and give them confidence and faith! But what an experience of deep suffering it turned out to be for Jesus. The disciples doubted him, Mary and Martha doubted him, and so did the weeping friends of Lazarus.
Today I must ask you. "Are you having doubt in your situation?"
Did Mary know how deeply she hurt Him when she accused Him of being preoccupied and disinterested in their problem? "Lord, if you had just been here on time—but it's too late now, the damage is done" (see vs. 21).
Did Martha know how it hurt her Master when she questioned His resurrection power? He had plainly told her, "Thy brother shall rise again," but His word was not enough. She answered, in essence, "Oh, yes, on resurrection day he will arise but that doesn't help today" (see vs. 24).
How painful it must have been for Christ to have his dearest friends doubt that He had all the power they needed. "Don't you know who I am yet?" is what the Lord seemed to say. "I am the resurrection, and the life. Believe in me. I have the power, the life" (see vs. 25).
If we, His dearest friends, will not trust His power and faithfulness, who will? We call Him friend and Lord, but we do not live our lives as though He has the power needed to keep us victorious and joyful—in all our pain and difficulties.
What truly satisfies the heart of our Lord is the child of His who rests completely in His love and tender care.
Will you trust Him today and have no doubt?
I want you all to know that I am praying and interceding on your behalf daily. I want to ask each of you to support me and I thank you inadvance for your faithfulness. I cannot do this without your help. May you be blessed today.
