Lazarus Lessons

Lazarus was in the tomb. Four days in the tomb. The situation not only felt bad, it smelled bad and looked bad. The stench of death is not a pretty one. The overwhelming stink turns the strongest of stomachs and drives one away, far away.

But the appearance of the "reality" of death was not the true reality.

I have seen the appearance of the "reality" of death visit promises, touch dreams, and effect situations. But God is speaking, reminding me and you that He is NOT too late. Even if such an appearance lingers for days, months, or years He will come and we will see Him speak life into every promise, cause dreams to become established, and have His glorious purpose accomplished in every situation.

So...
Shake off the doldrums, the mulligrubs, the sour face. Put away sad tidings of doom and gloom and...

AWAKE, ARISE, and give Him praise! Real, earnest, LOUD praise!
Rejoice THIS day for He who has saved you will do great things!!!

We are the people who walk by faith, not by sight. Glorious faith, glorious God, glorious living!!

Aren't you glad?
