Even Now....

“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
-John 11:21-22

Most of us give up on God too easily.

Martha was very frustrated with Jesus. Her situation was hopeless. Her brother, Lazarus, had been dead four days. It doesn’t get much worse than that.

But there was something about Martha that didn’t allow her confusion and despair to overwhelm her faith.

Even now…she insisted, I believe in your power to resurrect the dead.

It’s one thing to trust in God when your situation is on life support. It’s another thing to trust God when your dream is dead and in the ground.

Maybe a relationship in your life just fell apart.
Maybe you lost a lot of money in the recession last year.
Maybe you’ve made some terrible mistakes that have cost you a lot of time and opportunity.

But it’s not over as long as Jesus is on the scene.

Even now He can restore your relationships.
Even now He can supply all your needs.
Even now He can forgive you and make you whole.

Trust Him, believe Him, hope in Him…
Even now!
