Busy day Quote by Ava Pennington
““I hate interruptions, especially when I have a deadline. Can’t people see I am busy? Jesus was having a busy day. A synagogue official’s daughter lay dying, and he begged Jesus to heal her. What a prime opportunity for Jesus to win over one of the religious leaders! Surely He should have accompanied this important official in haste and with single-minded determination. Jesus did not allow the pressure of a dying child to interfere with another divine appointment arranged by His heavenly Father. Can you imagine the official counting the minutes when Jesus stopped to question the crowd? Yet Jesus had time for both needs, and the official’s child benefited from a more glorious healing than she would have earlier. Just as Jesus trusted His heavenly Father to orchestrate His schedule, we also must trust the Architect of our days. Dear Lord, forgive me for the times I have ignored Your divine appointments. Help me keep my schedule flexible to respond to Your promptings.””
