📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: John 11:1-7
Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.”4 But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus[a]was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to the morning mindset edition of the Live Build Change |
| 0:06.6 | Podcast. My name is Carrie Green. I'm here just to encourage you with biblical truth to help you get your mind oriented for this day. |
| 0:15.3 | And in yesterday's Morning Mindset Edition I mentioned 9-11, September 11th, because it was a time when the United States was affected by this thing |
| 0:30.1 | we call global terrorism in a very devastating way. Many people experience |
| 0:36.2 | things like 9-11 and have questions about God and where is God in the midst of |
| 0:41.0 | those kinds of things. And yesterday I said that God's main purpose in things |
| 0:46.4 | like 9-11 is to show more clearly his glory, his majesty, the amazingness of who he is. |
| 0:56.0 | And you may be scratching your head immediately saying, |
| 0:58.0 | well, how does a terrible thing done at the hands of evil people, bring God any kind of recognition or glory. |
| 1:07.0 | Well I'll be the first to say I don't know all the hows I'm limited in my perspective |
| 1:12.0 | so I don't get it all the time. But I have heard |
| 1:16.4 | firsthand accounts I have heard stories of how God has done amazing things through |
| 1:20.9 | tragedies like 9-11. And I wanted to take a little time to couch this in |
| 1:26.4 | biblical terms. Let's look at John Chapter 11. And we find a familiar story to people who have been |
| 1:32.2 | the church. |
| 1:32.8 | There's a man named Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha. |
| 1:36.2 | And we know that they were friends of Jesus. |
| 1:38.8 | So they were personal friends. |
| 1:41.4 | And we're even told that Jesus loved them. So these are people close to Jesus. |
| 1:46.0 | These are people he spent time with, people he had a special place in his heart for, |
| 1:50.6 | just like you have a special place in your heart for family members or |
