The RIGHT Time ~ God's timing

John 7:1-18

Inspired thots:

Time. Timing. The Right time.

'Time is precious, Guard it with care.
No one has minutes or seconds to spare'
I remember this catchy rhyme since primary school but didn't appreciate the truth of the matter until the Lord spoke to me on John 7:6 '...for you, any time is the right '

Yes, that was how my life was... busy and packing as much as I can and want, making FULL use of the time because time is precious. But, it is different with Jesus. Yes, there are important things to accomplish BUT He waits for God's RIGHT timing; and that is what I needed to learn.
For that means,
1) Be patient and wait, instead of rushing into a task just to get it done and over.
2) Learning to HEAR from the Lord WHEN to do WHAT ~ like now, I learned to pray as the Spirit stirs.

As Jesus said in v16, wisdom can only come from God. It is a choice. The underlying motive is to gain honor... but is it for self or for God? (Matt. 5:16)
