WHAT TO DO WHEN JESUS IS TOO LATE
“God has a time for everything, a perfect schedule. He is never too soon, never too late. The when of His will is as important as the what and the how.”
John 11:21 Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
One very fundamental element of Faith, is to believe and trust the words of this verse: Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose. Believing this has never been more important than this day in which we are living! We are rapidly moving toward the hour that Jesus has foretold us: Luke 21:26 "men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
John 11:39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been [dead] four days."
Here, Martha says, Lord your timing is off! You are four days too late! He reminds her that He had told her His purpose in John 11:4. This was only allowed for the glory of God! Beloved, we must trust in Him in every circumstance. The Father’s ways are so much higher than our ability to comprehend! His will is perfect and yes, I believe His timing is perfect also! Rest in knowing He has a much higher and better purpose for you! Even when He doesn’t do things in your time frame or the way you wanted Him to! BELIEVE GOD, TRUST GOD! He does ALL things well! (Mark 7:37) If you will believe, i.e. trust, you will see the glory of God! (see John 11:40) HALLELUJAH!
Every blessing!
