How many of us struggle with unbelief in God and His Word? Do we not believe that God is going to do what He promises in His Word?
We continue in John 11, the story of the resurrection of Lazarus. We see that Lazarus had two sisters, Martha and Mary. When Jesus arrives in Bethany, He hears word that Lazarus has been dead for four days.
When Martha heard Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home. When Martha sees Jesus, she says, “Lord, if only You had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you what you ask.”
Jesus responds to Martha in verses 25 and 26: Jesus told her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
“She responded – “Yes, Lord!”
“When do we struggle with unbelief? We may not understand why we are going through what we are. We may have questions and no answers!
But we must believe that God is always faithful to His Word!
Lord, help me when I struggle to believe You and Your Word!
