God Has Time

“Do not worry about your life . . ."

Matthew 6:25

Today's Bible Reading: Luke 23:39-43.

Some people ask, “Do you think God has time for me? You do not know how mixed up my life is, how confused it is; the pressures, the tension at home, the business problems, so many things I could not possibly tell you about, including the sins in my life that I somehow cannot seem to give up.”

Yes, God has time for you. When the Lord Jesus was dying on the cross, He had time for a thief who turned to Him and said, “Lord, remember me” (Luke 23:42). That’s all the record tells us that the thief said, “Lord, remember me.” But what he was really saying was, “I’m unworthy. I’ve broken all the laws. I deserve hell. Just remember me.” And Jesus turned to him in that moment and said, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (v 43). Yes, God has time for you! And the same Saviour who had mercy on that dying thief still receives sinners today who come to Him in repentance and faith.

Prayer: Merciful God, thank You, that You always have time for me. In Christ's name I bless You for this wonderful truth. Amen.
