And we have to understand this today to be able to lean into this today, that when God does a miracle, it's amazing. When God doesn't do a miracle, that can also be amazing.
Now let's pause on ourselves. Is there something in your life that you're going through that you say, "I hate this about myself"? Like, if God could change anything, I would ask him to change this about me. God, take away this pain. God, take away this deficiency. God, take away how I look. God, take away, um, this temptation I have. Take away this sin that I have. Take away the stumbling block I have. God, here's the thing: if you took it away, if you healed me of this thing, I could glorify you so well because until you fix me, I can't glorify you.
God makes great saints out of broken people. That's it. It would need nothing more than you don't have to wait to be healed to be holy. God is also glorified when he doesn't heal and people remain in need, and remain in pain, and remain in sickness, and remain even with that temptation, whatever that thing is, and they still say, "But I trust him."
