Nothing in the life of a Christian happens without a purpose and every event that takes place, whether good or bad, is used by God for our spiritual growth and eternal benefit. During our time on earth, we are called to mature in faith and to grow in grace. God takes all the circumstances of life as an opportunity to develop our trust in Him so that we may discover a little more of His gracious character, His omnipotent power, His wisdom, His unfailing righteousness, His unapproachable holiness, and His Unconditional LOVE. Martha demonstrated her deep trust in God's Word, she had an assurance that her brother would be resurrected in the end times. She had come to believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah Who would save His people from their sins, but she had not yet recognized that she was addressing the incarnate Son of God Who created all things, and Who is before all things. She was yet to discover that Jesus is incarnate God; the One Who holds all things together by His almighty power; the One in Whom is life everlasting. Let us never forget that however small our faith may be, God is working in us every day to strengthen our trust in Him so that we may grow in grace and learn to depend on Him, no matter what circumstances we may have to face. His Word stands fast today, and His Word stands fast forever. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for these earth shattering words, spoken to the grieving sister of Lazarus. Thank You that Jesus used these words to develop Martha's faith and to deepen her dependence upon Him. Help us never to forget that however small our faith may be, God is working in us every day to strengthen our trust in Him so that we may grow in grace and learn to depend on Him, no matter what circumstances we may have to face. Thank You that our lives are hid with Christ in God. Enlarge our faith in Your Word of truth and increase our understanding of Who You truly are, (Whom to know is life eternal), not only in the future but here and now. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
