As we journey through this world, we will experience many things. If we have accepted the wonderful gift of Love from our Abba Father, which is the life blood of none other than His only Begotten Son, Jesus the Christ, we know that no matter what the circumstance, God will use it to help us learn and grow.
Jesus tells us not to fear, but to call upon Him in faith, and wait for Him to come at the right time in the right place. When we wait in trust, we wait in expectation and we wait in peace. When we call upon Him for our needs, we know He always moves when it is time. His time. When He has the circumstances in place He wants – just as He did when Lazarus died. Martha and Mary were upset at Jesus because He had not come sooner to heal their brother when they called. But when He raised Lazarus from the dead after he had been in the grave for four days, Jesus said, “Did I not tell you if you believe you will see the glory of God?( John 11:40) He wants us to see the power He has over all things, and that He is always there for us.
His timing is always perfect. And even though we may not understand the circumstances, or His timing,the important thing is to look to Him, and the power of the Holy Spirit, and not the circumstances or question His timing. You have heard that old expression when someone asked “How are you doing?” and the answer was “Fine, under the circumstances.” The Lord says ‘don’t be under the circumstances, be on top of them in and through Him.’ He’s got it. He is on it. Trust Him.
Jesus delivered Lazarus from death. Jesus spoke life back into him, and the people saw Lazarus walk out of his grave when they thought all hope was gone. When we ask, Jesus will deliver us – in His time in His own way. Our Hope is in Him. We know that because the Word says so, and because of the testimonies of deliverance from the many He has delivered. As David proclaimed in Psalm 3:8: “From the Lord comes deliverance.”
Believe and receive the Blessings and Love the Lord wants to shower upon you, God’s Beloveds. You will see the glory of His Love for you.
