What is Best is not always easy

John 11:38 " Jesus therefor again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it."

Here in John 11 we have the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus knew that Lazarus was going to die and he allowed him to die for the sake of His disciples. When Jesus comes to where Lazarus is he weeps. He loves Lazarus and His family and what was necessary for Him to do hurt His friends for the moment.

I was surprised when I read here this morning. Sometimes I get to thinking that God's will is always pleasant and that I am supposed to always to see that it is good. When Jesus allowed Lazarus to die it was for the best of His children though they could not see it at the time.

In my own life I know that sometimes things don't seem to go my way and I complain and think that God is being unfair with me. I see that if God wanted he could take all my problems away and he could keep the bad things from ever happening.

I am so thankful today that God is bigger than my little thoughts and mind and that he sees the beginning as well as the end of everything. I am happy that God always does what is best even though it might not seem that way in the present.
