Timing

 "When the Son of Man comes will he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8.

Jesus asks few questions. So we pay real close attention when he does. The discussion turns about losing heart. Does God really care? Responds Jesus: Believe it, God will vindicate his chosen people real quick. And this is the deal about being meek. Do we wait for God to handle injustice, or do we just dive in and force it? How long can we wait for God to get a move on and do something? What if God waits too long? Or, maybe, it's all arbitrary, no point to anything, just give up? Well, that's the deal, isn't it? God's timing may become our evidence for his carelessness. Which returns Jesus' question: Will the elect trust God all the way to the end?

We shall be of those who find heart, not of those who lose it. With a brother or sister today we meekly bring the troubles of our hearts before God. And, together, believing, we give thanks ahead of time. Before he rights all things. Before we inherit the earth.
