Luke 8:41-42 (NIV)
Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come to his house because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.
Surely Jairus was grateful when Jesus agreed to come to his house. Along the way, Jesus stopped to heal a woman. In Jairus’ place, I’d have thought (and maybe even said), “I’m grateful, yes, but could we skip the interruption?”
Good morning, Lord. When I ask You for something, I’m hoping for an answer sooner rather than later. Teach me to trust Your timing, to wait patiently with an attitude of gratitude.
amen
The waiting is hard yet I know that is where my faith grows.
I agree, Maura, waiting is hard … maybe a smidge easier with experience.
Yes! Absolutely!
