John 8
God's timing is something that we need to be aware as we too often (I know I do!) want something when we want it.
This shows up elsewhere in scripture:
Ecclesiastes 9:12
Matthew 25:13
Of course the above verses not only apply to when we ask for something but more importantly the need for our readiness for Christ's return. We must be ready and we must live with the end in mind.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed a great God full of love and compassion for me yet I am not deserving of such love and passion. I am impatient, I lack compassion for others, I am selfish, angry, I worry, etc. Thank You that You love me anyway Jesus but please forgive me. Help me turn from such sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as Yourself. Help me grow in my faith.
...because his hour had not yet come. v20
