Matthew 9:18-26
Wow! Are there interruptions in life or what?! My wife tells me "interruptions are the ministry." I'm not always certain. What about the dozens of projects on my desk? When will I get to those? It appears Jesus dealt with the same issue. Today I read about the ruler asking Jesus to touch his dead daughter in order to bring her back to life. As he was going, he was interrupted with yet another need. How tempted he must have been to say, "I'm busy. I have priorities. And a dead girl is before a bleeding woman." He didn't. Jesus didn't seem inconvenienced at all. He simply allowed the power to flow out of him and healed to woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years.
"Lord, make me more patient. Help me to prioritize people over projects." Amen
