Exodus 23:10-33; Psalms 66:1-67:7; Acts 13:1-25

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. John 7:6

Even though His unbelieving brothers wanted Him to go to Jerusalem where the Jews wanted to kill Him, the Lord declared that His hour had not yet come. Instead, He reminded them that their time was always ready. For those still in their sins, the time is always ready to come to the Saviour, since now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2). For the backslider, the time is always ready to return to the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, (1 Peter 2:25). For the diligent servant of the Lord, the time is always ready to faithfully serve Him until He calls us Home, (2 Tim. 4:6). Are you ready? —Mark Kolchin

Ready to go, ready to stay, ready my place to fill,
Ready for service, lowly or great, ready to do His will. —A. C. Palmer
