His hour had not yet come.

We live in such a time-centred world today, with our eyes on the task at hand but also on the clock. As a mother of five children, it is essential for me to be structured and organised. It has taken me many years, with a lot of fine tuning from God, to balance that with flexibility. Perhaps my biggest lesson, though, has been to wait on God’s time.

Our heavenly Father even timed his son’s arrest to perfection. Without a doubt, he has also timed our day. When I have surrendered my time to God, I have discovered he is quite the ‘last minute’ king! I often believe that is God’s way of showing me his sense of humour. For me (little Miss Organised) it is often a waiting game - waiting on God’s hour for me. How do we hand our time to God today?
