FOUR DAYS LATE, YET ON TIME.
"Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was...
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
(John 11:1,3,6-7,17,43-44)
In the midst of delays and disappointments, it's easy to lose faith and wonder if God is truly in control. But the story of Lazarus's resurrection teaches us that God's timing is perfect, even when it seems like He is late.
Lazarus was sick, and his sisters sent for Jesus Christ to come for solution. Jesus delayed coming, and Lazarus died. When Jesus decided to come it was already four days late. Mary and Martha had lost hope and are in deep pains. When Jesus arrived they told Him he was four days late and that the dead is now stinking.
That was the right time for Jesus. He called out and Lazarus came forth out of the grave.
"The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations..." (2 Peter 2:9).
We always want to have things done our way and time. The Lord knows how to do it. You don't know how and when God wants to do it. He who knows how to, knows when to do it.
"He hath made all things beautiful in his time.." (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
No matter how long you think He has delayed. The situation may be stinking now, you seem to have lost hope. I challenge you today to be patient with God. He knows the situation and has set a time for it. A thousands years for man is just a day for God. Jesus came four days late in the eyes of men, yet he came on time. And Lazarus came alive. He will do it for you.
Shalom.
