[:en]ON TIME
Are you always on time for an appointment? Do you finish what you are supposed to do on time? Most of us has the tendency to procrastinate, so instead of being ON TIME, we are always late.
The Israelites waited for the promised Messiah and gave uip hope. But Simeon and Anna did not. They were in the temple daily praying and waiting. (Luke 2:25-26, 37). And their faith was rewarded. They got to see the infant Jesus when Mary and Joseph brought Him to be dedicated (Luke 27:32, 38).
Sometimes, we also become discouraged because God does not respond according to our timetable. Christmas reminds us that “when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son. …that we might receive adoption to sonship” (Gal 4:4-5).
Let us learn to wait patiently for the Lord’s timing because His timing is always perfect and it is worth the wait. – (Julie Ackerman Link)[:]
