Timing Is Everything: In the Fourth Watch
David Jeremiah 26 March 2022 Daily Devotional MESSAGE
Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
Matthew 14:25

David Jeremiah 26 March 2022 Daily Devotional MESSAGE
Charles Lamb quipped, “I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.” Some people are always late—for church, for school, for work, for everything.
Jesus was late on two occasions—when Lazarus died and when the disciples were imperiled on the Sea of Galilee. Yet, He wasn’t really late. It only seemed so.
Take the disciples in Matthew 14, for example. Jesus sent them out onto the sea at sundown while He went onto the mountain to pray. He saw them in the distance, and He knew they were straining at the oars; yet He did nothing until the fourth watch of the night, which begins at 3 a.m. Imagine the fear and fatigue of those men, tossed by the waves, drenched, cold, trying to find land. Jesus knew they could learn about faith in the storm better than in the calm and during the night better than during the day.
And just as on that long-ago night, Jesus will arrive on time to help you during your storm and darkness. Trust His timing!
I can trust his timing. I can trust his love.
