There is nothing better than knowing that the Lord is with you and me. Miracles for instance, are evidences that He is among us. We show how big our faith is through fruits. The moment when Jesus got to the village to perform the miracle in His friend`s life Lazarus, He performed it in everyone`s life, those who were present. Salvation is more important than cure. “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.[a] And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.”, John 11:41. The biggest objective of that miracle was to show the glory of God through that attitude many lives were reached. The Holy Bible reveals several histories of the manifestation of praising the Lord, for example, the history of that man who was born blind. “Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.” John 9:1-3 Jesus performed the miracle in that man`s life; He provided the sight to the one who was born blind, but besides the healing, everyone could see that Jesus Christ was the Messiah and they had a chance to be given eternal life. That moment was in His Father`s plan like it was in the past, like nowadays, everything is under the control of our God, so everything He does is perfect to show His glory.

Don't be questioning the Lord about this or that because if your life is in His hands, He's in control of everything, and everything that happens is good, perfect and nice.

When Jesus sent 70 disciples to preach, the could feel that through the power the Son went through they could expel demons, heal and change many people`s lives and when they came back astounded at what they had seen, Jesus answered: “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven”, Luke 10:20. Jesus wants you to understand that the cure is important, that casting out demons is important, to have prosperity is important, however they are not essential in your life, but more importantly, what you need burns in your heart every day and it is sure of eternal life because that's the most important thing. Your greatest happiness must be the awareness of having your name written in the book of life, that's the greatest satisfaction that a man can enjoy. Salvation is the best part that no one can take away, and the rest is in the hands of our Father, He will take care of everything.
