Get the appWait, Watch, Worship: A Lent DevotionalSample
Wake (from death to life)
Tuesday – 12 days before Easter
John 11:11-33
Mary and Martha knew Jesus well. They cared for him. They trusted him. They loved him. But even so, when he did not show up in the way or time they expected, they greeted him with, “Lord, if only… ”
If only you’d been here.
If only you’d come sooner.
If only you’d done exactly what we asked.
If only you’d listened to us.
If only you’d done it our way.
Read the story today, and identify your own “if only” moments in life. How does “if only” limit your understanding and experience of God? How does it keep you from being fully alive? How can you move from an “if only” attitude to a trusting and thankful attitude?
