The glory of God can be difficult to apply to our lives. John 11, though, is helpful.
Lazarus’s death was used by God so that people could see two things about God
One, God is always the most important thing no matter what is going on.
Two, God displaying His goodness and power and character, which is glorious, is the very important thing to God. He’s not a showoff. He’s pointing us to the greatest delight in we can ever see and know and enjoy.
How do we apply God letting Lazarus die? We’ve see God at work. We’ve seen more of God’s character. We’ve been able to peek behind the curtain and see God do something only He can do. We now know and feel and enjoy more than we would have if we had never read the story.
We’ve seen the glory of God! Savor it.
