No Struggle, No Progress
In life, we all have needs and desires. We have our share of trials and tribulations as well. It can be frustrating, no doubt, but do we have faith in God, that He will surely work it all out? He will. Let's talk Scripture. Mary & Martha's brother, Lazarus, became sick (read John 11). Of course they wanted Jesus present. They knew He's a Healer. Others thought the same. Even the disciples didn't understand Jesus' decision to wait. He waited until Lazarus died. That seemed cruel, until you see it through the lens of faith. When Jesus showed up, Lazarus' body was already dead, and it was even said that the dead stunk by then. None of that stopped Jesus. He went on to raise Lazarus from the dead. Before then, the people knew Jesus as One who heals, but they didn't know Him AS THE RESURRECTION. He wasn't late; He was intentional. In your situation right now, know that no matter how dead (hopeless) it looks, Jesus is never late. Maybe it's just time for you to know Him in another way!
