WISE COUNSEL
The Lord Jesus Christ was only a few months younger, in age, than His cousin John BarZacharias aka John the baptist. They were both prophets, called of God.
Though born only a few months apart, yet even before Jesus' ministry began, the crowds were flocking to John because his ministry was really "flying" & "rocking".
But Jesus didn't compare himself with John. He knew that it wasn't His time. He told His mum as much & He didn't yield to His siblings goading to relocate to Jerusalem because that's where the action was.
Beloved. In 2024:
1. Don't compare yourself with others. Understand your times & seasons. The oak tree doesn't mature in the life span of a tomato plant. A lion & a housefly don't mature in the same life span.
2. Popularity isn't a measure of God's will. Age isn't God's timing.
3. Don't yield to society's pressure.
Don't run when you're supposed to be walking. Don't show off yourself when you're supposed to be in seclusion.
Obscurity isn't failure.
That no one is "chasing" doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. That no one has agreed to your chatting up doesn't mean that you're unwanted.
God didn't send the Lord Jesus Christ immediately Adam sinned. God has set up our times & our seasons. Know yours & walk in it & be at peace.
