—John 11:1-6

Despite hearing that Lazarus was extremely sick, Jesus did not return to Bethany right away. Instead, he purposely delayed his return. And he did this knowing God's plan. Many times, we pray and ask the Lord for things, and we don't receive the answer or request right away. The reason is because God sees the bigger picture and knows the appropriate time for these things. Jesus concerned himself with bringing glory to the Father. God may not answer us as soon as we ask, but he will always be on time.
