Never Too Late Bible in a Year : Psalms 29–30; Acts 23:1–15 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Mark 5:36 Mark 5:35–43 During the anxious moments that followed my mother-in-law’s heart attack, she was fortunate to receive immediate medical care. Later, her doctor told me that treatment within fifteen minutes of a heart attack results in a survival rate of 33 percent for critical patients. But just 5 percent survive if treated beyond that time frame. On the way to heal Jairus’s desperately ill (someone definitely needing immediate medical care), Jesus did the unthinkable: He paused (Mark 5:30). He stopped to identify who touched Him, and then spoke gently with the woman. You can imagine what Jairus was thinking: There’s no time for this, my is dying! And then, his worst fears came true—Jesus appeared to have delayed too long and his passed away (v. 35). But Jesus turned to Jairus and offered a word of encouragement: “Don’t be afraid; just believe” (v. 36). Then, calmly ignoring the mockery of onlookers, Christ spoke to Jairus’s and she came back to life! He revealed that He can never be too late. Time can’t limit what He’s able to do and when He chooses to do it. How often do we feel like Jairus, thinking that God was simply too late to accomplish what we had hoped for. But with God, there’s no such thing. He’s never too late in fulfilling His good and merciful work in our lives. Reflect & Pray How have you recently experienced the reality of God’s timing? Why is it vital for you to rest in God’s sovereignty—acknowledging that His plans are the best? Jesus, help me to remember that You’re sovereign even over time itself, and that You’re never too late to accomplish Your perfect plans.

I apologize for my absence. Where I have been would not allow me access to SFF..... said it was a dangerous site. I sure have missed reading your blogs. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
