John 7:8: “You go to the Feast. I [Jesus] am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come.”
I don’t like to wait. Can you relate to that? When I set my heart on a goal, I want it to happen as soon as possible. What about you?
Recently I heard about a conference for speakers that had an early bird price of $197 with a 20% discount for members. The price would go up each month and would reach a total of $777 at the door. When I first heard about the conference, I wanted to register right away.
Every time I went to the website to register, I sensed God tell me to wait. Perhaps the right time had not yet come. I waited and waited. The last day of the $197 price came. Again I went to the website to register. Again I sensed God was telling me to wait.
Later that day, I received an email from a friend. She told me about an opportunity that was made for me. I sensed God’s peace and approval. God showed me why he wanted me to wait for the right time. His plan was better.
Do you have your heart set on something you want? Do you sense God telling you to wait?
Dear God, you know my goals and dreams. Amen.
Application: What will you do this week to wait for the right time?
