DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 16; Psalm 119:113-144; Mark 6:1-29
Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time
is always ready. John 7:6
Spoken to His unbelieving family members, the Lord declared that
His time had not yet come to accomplish the work of salvation.
Eventually it would, but only according to God’s perfect timing–not
before and not after. In contrast, their time was always ready as it is
with anyone outside the household of faith. What it takes to make for
peace in a person’s life is unknown to us (Luke 19:42). But one thing
is sure, dear friend, your time is always ready to come to the Saviour
since you do not know what a day may bring forth (Prov. 27:1). Why
not settle the issue and come to Him today? —Mark Kolchin
“All things are ready,” come to the feast! Come, for the door is open wide;
A place of honour is reserved, for you at the Master’s side. —C. Gabriel
