Saturday of Week 15 Year A By Tobe Eze

Saturday of Week 15 Year A

First Reading

Exodus 12:37-42

Gospel

Matthew 12:14-21

THEME: THE APPOINTED TIME

When the appointed time comes, nothing will stop it. When the time God has planned or willed that sometime will take place comes, nothing will stop it. That sometimes we get confused about some issues is because we are not God and we cannot be God to know the time for everything. Despite whatever may happen, when the appointed time comes, we will see the manifestation of God.

Despite all that Pharaoh did to stop the children of Israel from leaving Egypt, at the appointed time, God used his hands to bring them out from Egypt.

That Jesus withdrew in the gospel was not because he was afraid of what may have befell him but because the appointed time had not reached. When the time reached, he could not withdraw again and he allowed himself to be killed.

Any situation we find ourselves that we are not comfortable with, just pray to God and wait for the appointed time and he will surprise us. We cannot know the mind of God, since we cannot know the mind of God, then let us wait for him for the bible recorded it that his thoughts for us are for good and not of evil (Jeremiah 29:11). Let us wait for the appointed time and our money, wives, husbands, houses, children, healing and every other thing that are worrying us will be ours. Thanks.
