Crises
Jun 10, 2022
Today’s Scripture
John 11:53, NLT
So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death.
Today’s Word
In John 11, after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, some of His critics rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the religious leaders. Lazarus’ resurrection was a strategic part of the plan of God that set in motion all the other events that led Jesus to be crucified. That’s why Jesus waited on purpose for Lazarus to die. He could have gone there sooner and healed Lazarus while he was alive. But He knew the resurrection would create such a commotion that His haters would feel forced to take action. Jesus’ time had come.
Sometimes what seems like a crisis to us is actually the plan of God. Mary and Martha were upset that Jesus came too late. They had no idea that their crisis was in God’s perfect plan. They thought things were out of control, but God was in complete control. Even in our crises, God is still on the throne. Nothing happens randomly. Rest assured that through it all, the plan He laid out for your life is still on track.
Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that what may seem like a crisis to me is completely under Your control. Thank You that You have a strategic plan for my life that leaves nothing to happen randomly. Help me to remember that You are still on the throne when things seem out of control. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
