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?

Acts 2:1–21 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? ... We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Read the context I wish I was fluent in another language. I know a little bit of German, but not enough to hold a conversation... let...

1 Cor 12:3&7 "No one can say, 'Jesus is Lord,' except by the Holy Spirit." ... "To each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." Read the context It's easy to compare your gifts to others' or to feel like the Holy Spirit is working over there and skipping past you. But before you can evaluate what you've been given, start here: the Spirit already gave you the greatest gift: Faith itself. The ability to call Jesus Lord. That gift arrived first, and everything else...

Psalm 104 When you send your Spirit, they are created, — and you renew the face of the ground. ... I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Only God can create life, and only God can give life to your soul. This weekend, we celebrate Pentecost — the day when God...
