    Destiny is closely tied to time, and it is the primary target of the devil. Satan doesn't attack you because of your past; he troubles you because of your future.

Often God’s delays are explained in that God wishes to teach us our need of patience (see Hebrews 10:36). In our text, Lazarus was on his deathbed and yet Jesus delayed (see vv. 1–6). ...read more
