Daily Devotion:
"Faith's Role"
John 11:39
New Living Translation
39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”
There's immense joy in being a part of what God is doing at any given time. What if Moses hadn't reached out and grabbed the snake by the tail (Exodus4:4)? What if the priests hadn't stepped into the Jordan (Joshua 3:13)? What if the blind man hadn't believed in the power of Jesus (John 9:7)? What if Martha and Mary hadn't moved the. stone (John 11:39)?
To live joyfully is to believe that God can do anything. What is God calling you do to? What's that thing that seems ridiculous when you say it out loud? It would be a shame to miss out on a miracle because you feared looking foolish. We just have to believe. We pray for provision even when we can't see any possible way for it to happen. We pray for relationships to be restored even when renewal seems impossible. We believe in the impossible, and then we rejoice when our Lazarus comes forth.
