John 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
When Jesus told Mary to roll the stone away, she was worried about the stink. She was concerned about the smell that would fill the atmosphere and be an embarrassment to her and her family. What would people think? What would they say? Best to keep the stink behind the stone. But Jesus was trying to let her know that if you want your miracle, you will have to endure some stink.
Many times in the Bible, we can see people go through a time of stink before they experience their miracle. Joseph is one example. There in Egypt’s prison, betrayed by his brothers, and betrayed by Potiphar, he was in the midst of STINK. But after the stink was a great miracle. You may go through some stink in your life right now, but maybe what you need is to let Jesus speak into your stink. When the voice of Jesus shouted “Lazarus come forth”, the stink was changed into a great miracle. Let Gods word speak into your situation, and see how God will transform your “stink” into a wonderful testimony.
