Meditate On
“I am…the Beginning and the End,” says the
Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 1:8
Jesus
Always Has Time For You
In spite of our best intentions, we often
find ourselves too busy to do what we’d like to for people. We may be bound by
time, but Jesus, the one who created time, is not. He always has time for each
one of us!
Even in His earthly ministry, in His
limited form as Man, He always had time to minister to people. Consider a
typical day in His ministry: When a severely demon-possessed man cried out from
the tombs of a distant region, He had time to sail all the way from Galilee to
the country of the Gadarenes to save that lonely, tormented man. On the way
there, He had time to respond to the cries of His disciples when a fierce storm
arose. He awoke from a much-deserved sleep and calmed the storm for them.
After He saved the demonized man and
returned to Galilee, another man, Jairus, came to him for help. Jairus’
12-year-old daughter was dying and he begged Jesus to come to his house to heal
her. Jesus agreed—He had time. But on His way there, a woman with a 12-year bleeding
condition touched the hem of His garment and received her healing. Though
Jairus’ daughter was in the throes of death, Jesus had time to find out who had
touched Him, just so that He could minister to the woman.
While Jesus was ministering to her, He
received a death report concerning Jairus’ daughter. Now, in the natural, Jesus
was “too late.” Yet, He did not consider it a waste of time to encourage
Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well” (Luke
8:49–50). He wasn’t troubled or harried. He still took time to go to Jairus’
house and raised the little girl from the dead.
My friend, this same loving Jesus always
has time for you. He hears your cries, cares about the little and big things
that bother you, and will come and save you. Even when He’s “busy,” He has time
to stop and minister to you. And even when it seems “too late,” He will still
see to it that you get your miracle!
