Today's Daily Lesson comes from Mark chapter 1 verse 14:
"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled . . ."
The things of the kingdom take place in their own time and in their own season. This means they cannot be hastened by our taking things into our own hands, like one of my sons did with one of his Christmas packages at grandma's house this weekend. As I said in the children's time Sunday, "Good things come to those who wait; but good things will definitely not come to those who cannot wait."
Everything happens in its own season. This is the season of waiting. But the good news is God is always worth waiting for.
The lesson for me:
Now is the season for "letting things happen", not "making things happen".
