Psalm 46:10
May 21, 2009
In John chapter 10, we
read of the crowd trying to stone Jesus, trying to
seize Him, but He escapes. Other scriptures tell us
of times that the crowds wanted to harm, even kill,
Jesus, but it also says that the timing was not
right.
If He stopped them
in John 10 and the other places, I have no doubt He
could have stopped them at Gethsemane. He knew what
Judas was up to. He could have stopped him or had one
of the other 12 stop him, but the timing was right.
Jesus wanted to
follow God’s timing. He wanted the timing to be not
His own. How often do we get impatient with God’s
timing? Our example here shows us that we need to
wait. How often, when we are going through hard
times, do we find it difficult to wait on God’s
timing?
Be still and know that I am God.
