Reading: John 6 and Isaiah 18-19
Scripture: John 6:21, Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
Observation: The reason that this popped out at me today was the use of immediately, there are other gospel accounts where the author used it as a “and then” with urgency but not literally the next second. I believe that as Jesus entered the boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee that they were immediately moved to the shore where they were headed.
Application: To me today this spoke to me as a reminder that God’s timing is not ours. Normally we us that fraise when we are not seeing a answered prayer when we are expecting it, but I think there are times that like in this story that God answered a prayer that our soul made in the groaning that the Holy Spirit interprets and takes to Heaven. God is so mindful of us that he will pour blessings out on us and I think that could include doing things for us just to make things easier or getting something done faster or even seeming to get somewhere early when there is no way that we though we would make it on time. Just remember as frustrating as it can be to wait on something God’s timing is so much better.
Prayer: Father I thank you so much for all the blessings and provisions you give us each day. Open our eyes to the answered prayers so we can see your promises that have come to pass and know that you are faithful to do what you have said.
