Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2
I want to take a leap of faith and believe that the Lord above is enough. I want to get a glimpse of His glory. I want to be in pursuit of Godliness. In all these things, I can because God has already given me hope. How many times do we give up on hope or look for it? We don't even have to be in search of this hope that set us free because He has already laid it out for us.
Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me." John 11:40-42
I can barely fathom the story of the death of Lazarus right now. We've heard it over and over, but this is absolutely mind blowing right now. Just read it like you've never read it before. Read it through the eyes of John.
This story isn't saying let's go do this or let's go do that. This story reminds me and restores my strength and hope in what Jesus Christ has done for me. I just start thinking about what life would look like if we truly put our trust in God to get a glimpse of his glory.
What get's me the most, is this story of faith. Or lack there of. What would happen if we lived radical lives and doing things the world and even believers think are crazy? What if everyone just started trusting in God and did things they've never had the courage to do before? Surely, the world would go mad, but the world would see a NEED for a Savior. How glorious grace would be.
