Faith is Not Easy

In the eleventh chapter of John's gospel, Mary and Martha's brother Lazarus was sick. Mary and Martha had faith that their beloved friend Jesus would be able to heal him. But Lazarus died before Jesus arrived.

When Martha saw Jesus coming she ran to Him (Vs. 21). Then when Jesus spoke to her, her faith was renewed (Vs. 27). Jesus asked that the stone be rolled away from the opening and it was then that Jesus spoke and Lazarus came forth out of the tomb. When Mary witnessed this, her faith was renewed.

How often is your faith challenged? How often do you blame God for the things that go wrong? I Peter 3:12 says, "the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears attend to their prayers". So, keep the the faith and believe that God has everything in control.
