Move the Stone

"Did I not say to you that if you would believe

you would see the glory of God?"

John 11:40

Jesus had not come on time. Lazarus was dead and buried. Now, they were standing before his tomb, and Jesus said, to everyone's shock, to move the stone that hid the rotting body. Even Martha, who had just confessed that Jesus was the Son of God, was not prepared to trust His judgment without question. But to see the wonders He would do, she had to be willing to reopen the place of her deepest sorrow.

For God to accomplish great miracles in our lives, we must sometimes allow Him to open the deep wounds, the hard and hidden dead spots in our hearts. We must believe and trust that nothing is too far gone for His power. The glory of God is greatest when we are at our most hopeless point. Will you let Him move the stone?
