Day 132 Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 12-13, John 7:1-31, Psalm 108 and Proverb 15:4 
Too often like spoiled kids we want things on our schedule; right now. Without perspective we can see only the immediate present. God’s timing is irrelevant. In fact, like the disciples we sometimes find it troublesome. How much better though to learn patience when He so leads ... and action when it is called for!
"Jesus said to them, 'My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.'" – John 7:6 (English Standard Version)
"Dear Lord, it is not our natural tendency to be patient, to be calm and wait in faith. So often we want our own agenda and instant gratification, or else, we blame and complain. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to be patient, to trust your timing, to wait in hope and pray without ceasing. Your will is perfect. Nothing will go wrong when we put our full trust in you. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
