John 11:1-16

Word was sent to Jesus that Lazarus was sick. Jesus declared that the end result of this sickness would not be death, but that God would be glorified in it. Jesus stayed where He was for two days before setting off for Lazarus' house. His disciples brought up the fact that they were trying to kill Him in Judea, but Jesus told them Lazarus was dead and He was going there to raise him up so that they might believe.

God will sometimes allow us to go through hard times so that we can see His work in our lives. In the moments where God provides a way through a difficult situation we could not otherwise see, His glory is evident. We learn to depend on Him more and more, growing closer to Him with each experience. Remember, even in the roughest times, God is with you offering His protection, help, and guidance.
