Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
God’s delays always have a purpose; a purpose we don’t understand at the time, but quite often the understanding comes later. Both Martha and Mary said to Jesus, “Lord if thou hadst been here my brother had not died.” Jesus even wept with them in their weeping because He loved them and felt their sorrow and loss. He knew, however, that restoring Lazarus back to life again would help this family (as well as many who read the scriptures) to experience a higher level of faith and joy. Friends, let us never allow God’s inactivity to question his love. God’s delays will always work out for our eternal good if we trust him.
