Focal Point: Pt 7 - 5 Day Devotional: Day 1

Reading: John 11:1-16

Devotional: Jesus delayed coming to Lazarus, yet He loved him deeply. This paradox teaches us that God's timing doesn't reflect His absence or lack of care. Sometimes God allows situations to unfold beyond our understanding so His glory can be fully revealed. When you're waiting for an answer, remember that Jesus is never late—He's always right on time for maximum impact. His delays are not denials. Like Martha and Mary, you may wonder why Jesus hasn't shown up yet, but trust that He's orchestrating something far greater than immediate relief. Your current waiting is preparation for witnessing His resurrection power in your circumstances.
