Lazarus, whom Jesus loved, was sick and Mary and Martha had already sent word for Jesus to come quickly. But interestingly Jesus waited 2 more days before heading for Judea…

The truth is, sometimes God’s timing puzzles us…

If we Lil called me to tell me the kids were really sick, I would have likely rushed home.. and then maybe even rush them to the doctor. Surely I won’t wait 2 days!

However, God knew this situation would eventually end up glorifying himself, This presented Mary & Martha an opportunity to trust Him.. even if it meant waiting another 2 days for Him to do what He already intended to do.

“And for your sake, I am glad I wasn’t there, because this will give you another opportunity to believe in me. Come, let’s go see him.” – John 11:15 (NLT)
