When Jesus lived on earth, His seemingly slow pace sometimes disappointed His friends. Sometimes, I long for Jesus to move more quickly to answer a prayer. Jesus’ schedule is different from ours many times. He accomplishes His work on His timetable, not ours. And the ultimate outcome displays His glory and goodness in ways that are so much greater than our plans. Remember Lazarus resurrection?
“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:21
