DAY 20
PRAY: Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you in His word today! Ask Him to slow you down enough to fully comprehend what He is saying.
CONTEXT: Jesus was close with a man named Lazarus and his sisters. The sisters reached out to Jesus because Lazarus was dying, but Jesus waited until Lazarus died so He could perform a miracle. The sisters confronted Jesus and said, “If you had been here, our brother wouldn’t have died.” Verses 33-37 show Jesus’ reaction to this.
READ: John 11:33-37
REFLECT: Jesus was sovereign over the death of Lazarus, but he wasn’t so far removed that he wasn’t affected. He feels the same for us. When I go through difficult times, how do I think Jesus reacts?
APPLY: Knowing that Jesus still cares when I face difficult circumstances, how can I be a light to somebody else facing a tough time?
PRAY: Ask Jesus to remind you that He cares for you deeply. Ask for an opportunity to show that kind of care to somebody else this week.
