HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in Luke

Dia 15 de 27

In His Timing

We’ve studied this event in the other gospels, but there’s always more to be found in the Bible each time we read. Notice that Jairus’ daughter was about twelve years old and the woman with the blood condition had suffered with her condition twelve years.  Assuming facts and figures in the scriptures are there for a reason, we wonder why “twelve years” is mentioned. One reason may be that sometimes suffering can endure for many years, but there’s always hope when we know Jesus.  

Another could be a reminder that there are different perspectives even about a specific time frame. The woman in this story likely felt like her twelve years had been such an incredibly long time. She must have felt exhausted by this length of time. On the other hand, Jairus had only had his daughter with him twelve years, and he must have thought it was such a short time since she was already facing death.  

Regardless, we can see that each of us must trust God with the “timing” in our lives. There’s no need to compare the “timing” in our lives to any other. We simply must bring all our cares to Jesus and trust that He will handle them in His perfect timing.

QUESTIONS:

  1. Are there things in my life that I believe have gone on too long?
  2. Have I completely surrendered those things to Jesus?
  3. Can I trust in His timing?
