If you believe you will see the glory of God
If God exits and if he is good, why would he allow the global pandemic that has been wrecking havoc in the world?
What good could possibly come out of this?
Why bad things happen to good people?
These are the questions which many struggle with or some may even lose their faith on. Jesus could have come earlier for his beloved friend, Lazarus, when he had been sent for. But he arrived a couple of days too late. What met him in the familiar home of his dear friend were grief and sorrow.
But in front of the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus declared to Martha, the sister of Lazarus,
Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?
Jesus called out Lazarus, and much to the astonishment of all, Lazarus came out of the tomb.
His arms are not too short to save
Jesus is speaking to us today:
if you believe, you will see the glory of God
Prayer
I exhort your name high, Jesus. You are the Lord of resurrection. Refusing to bow before the force of death and destruction, I choose to believe in You, Jesus, knowing that you have already won the victory for us. By your death and resurrection you have saved us. Thanks to the victory we have in you, death and destruction will not rule us. As we put our trust in you, I know that you will manifest your resurrection glory in our midst and that by your grace we will be able to recover all that has been destroyed and lost. In Jesus name I pray!
Amen
