God’s Right Time
Mark 1:44-45

Jesus told the man He had healed what to do next.

⁴⁴ ”Don’t tell this to anyone,” he said. “Go and show yourself to the priest. Offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded. It will be a witness to the priest and the people that you are ‘clean.’ “ ⁴⁵ But the man went out and started talking right away. He spread the news to everyone. So Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. He stayed outside in lonely places. But people still came to him from everywhere.

Think!

It was not yet time in God’s plan for Jesus to tell people He is God the Son. But this man did not obey. He told everyone! Some people like to do things their own way. They do not want to wait for God to work out His plan. But God’s plan is always right and good. He knows the right time for things to happen.

God says, “My thoughts are not like your thoughts. And your ways are not like my ways” (Isaiah 55:8). Trust God’s good plan for your life. Ask God to help you wait for His right time.

You can pray like this:

Dear God, I’m glad You have a good plan for me. Help me wait for Your right time. In Jesus’ name. Amen
