Because We Don't Know

Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”  John 20:13

There are moments when it seems that, like Mary here in our verse for today, we do not know where they have laid Jesus our Lord. In just one scriptural moment, Mary will meet a joyfully living Savior, but in the moment she sorrows as just another lost sheep of the Lord. We too find times and days to weep because we do not know where they have laid Him. And yet, He stands at hand waiting to be seen by us as the living Lord Jesus! Whatever our sorrows and pains on this day, we have only to open our heart to the Lord at hand. In Philippians the Apostle Paul writes, "The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing." Yet we do spend time refusing to look up from our sorrows and blinded by tears when the Lord waits there, just right there, right there at the hand of prayer to be noticed as the Living Lord Jesus! 

Have a little faith in the Lord this day,
