Waiting For A Miracle

We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order. -Tim Keller

A divine delay is not a denial.

Question: What is your take on miracles? Have you ever asked God for a miracle? Did it happen? How did you feel about the outcome? 

Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. So, when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was. John 11:5-6

I’m glad for you that I wasn’t there so that you may believe. But let’s go to him.” John 11:15

God’s plan may not be easy to see but it is always good.

As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 
John 11:20

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. John 11:25

Jesus wept. John 11:35

Question: Are you waiting for a miracle? Have you asked God for a miracle, and it didn’t seem to happen? Are you hurting because God didn’t show up in the way you asked? 

Growing in the painful waiting. 

Learn to pray honest prayers.
 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me. Psalm 22:14

Believe in Him Again.
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the person who seeks him. Lamentations 3:25

Nothing is over until Jesus says it’s over.
“Unwrap him and let him go.” John 11:44

Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:26

A divine delay is not a denial!
