A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. (Proverbs 18:20)
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. (John 11:20)

Words of hope in the midst of the crisis

In the story of Martha and Mary, Martha is shown as the diligent and responsible one who goes out to meet Jesus when she hears of His arrival. Mary stays at home, perhaps praying. When Martha meets Jesus, she expresses regret that He did not arrive in time to save her brother from dying. But she also confesses her faith in God, saying that she knows whatever Jesus asks of God, He will give it to Him. This teaches us the importance of having positive, hopeful words even in the midst of pain and crisis, as words have power. We should trust in God's plan and not reproach Him for what we perceive as delays or shortcomings. Read more...

Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Blessed is the name of the Lord, and truth is his word, which enables us to walk by faith and not by sight. Afflictions come into our lives with purposes. Pain afflicts us in the midst of it. But we must not immerse ourselves in pain, but evoke the promise that God works for good, and everything is under his dominion. When the believer exalts the sovereignty of God in the midst of pain and/or affliction, it is because he is sure that everything escapes his control, and that it is God in his fullness and glory who gives his last word before a reality, without end for man, but it is so that the glory of God may be poured out. To understand this reality, it is necessary to mature in the work of the Lord and the fullness of his love. Always remembering that his will is what is made manifest. The Blessing of God be with you.

Let us continue to strengthen our faith, trusting that God is in control and that His power is manifested in the midst of our weaknesses. May hope and trust in God be our refuge at all times.
