That Problem You’re Facing Right Now

The Lord will not always rescue you when you want Him to. And He certainly will not act according to your timetable every time.

In fact, sometimes He will let you die (metaphorically speaking). He may even wait until you’re quadruply dead and stinking in your tomb before He does anything (think Lazarus).

So when things become black in your life, and there seems to be no way out, your situation has the fingerprints of Jesus Christ all over it.

Chisel it in stone: you can’t have a resurrection without a death. Resurrection is God’s act alone. And that’s why it always brings glory to Him.

Two things to remember during your trial: 1) the Lord is seeking to show you something new about Himself and 2) the lesson you learn is not just for yourself. It’s given to you to help others.

So lean hard on your Lord. Trust Him, yielding, waiting, and seeking, expecting your resurrection. And in time, it will surely come.
