Thought For Today

But when Jesus heard it (Lazarus was sick) He said, “This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God; so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it.” John 11:4

Lord we so often don’t understand life. I am sure Mary didn’t understand You and why You didn’t rush to her home to heal Lazarus. After all You had healed so many that You didn’t even know. Now here was Your friend and You can only say ‘this illness is not unto death.’ In other words there was no need to rush there.

What I do see though Lord was the faith that Mary had in asking You to come to heal Lazarus.

Thank You for her faith and trust in You.

Thank You for her example to all of us.

She believed! She knew who You were. She loved You.

We too can follow in her footsteps. We too love You.

Thank You Lord.
