We don’t always understand why God does the things he does.
Martha and Mary certainly didn’t. Several days before, they had sent word to Jesus that their brother Lazarus was sick. But Jesus deliberately delayed in coming.
What would you do?
Many people would turn their backs on Jesus, bitter and angry.
But Martha and Mary went to him. In Mary’s case, she “rose quickly” and went to him.
They were upset. They were confused. But they still went to Jesus. And in doing so, they found out that he truly is faithful.
How about you? When you are angry and confused by what God does, do you turn from him? Or do you run to him?
