Daily Guide 22 February 2024 Devotional MESSAGE:
Jesus followed the sisters to where Lazarus body was buried. His pain was obvious and His love evident. The incident shows that Jesus was a perfect man and God. When in distress, remember Jesus cares for you and shares in your sorrows (see Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 5:7).
Two possible obstacles to the miracle are seen in v.39. See how Jesus dealt with them (vs.40–41). As far as Martha was concerned, since the body had started to decay, there was no hope. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we even wonder if it is worth praying at all. But there is no impossibility with God (Matthew 19:26). After coming back to life, the last hindrance to Lazarus’ full life and liberty had to be removed (v.44).
Without that, he would have merely existed – alive but handicapped. And many go about in life today with many spiritual handicaps. The fact that there are glimpses of hope in the lives of people around us may not always suggest that they no longer need our discipleship, prayers, or counselling. Observe that the greatest thing about this miracle is in v.45.
Practice/Word Application
So: What other action do we need to take to help those around us enjoy full life and liberty?
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
CLOSING PRAYER
When situation seems impossible, help me, dear Lord, to continue to trust you.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 41:13
