Trust God's perfect timing.



John 2:1–5

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

“Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

Moving to a bigger city has made me impatient when I ship from Amazon. Now, a two-day delivery feels too long. I want it here on my time!

God has a plan for how he is working in our lives. Like Mary it can be hard to see. Do you ever feel like asking God, "Why isn't this on my time?"

But God's plan is always better than our own. At just the right time and in just the right place he sent Jesus to save us.

There's no better timing than that!

What is one promise from God's word you're patiently waiting for? What can his word remind you while you wait?
