This is a post I wrote before I turned 30 years old that I didn't post, but would like to post now:
Jesus started his ministry when he was thirty years old. How many of us think that by 30 we need to have already built a perfect home, career, and family for ourselves. I look at famous people in the news that are my age and sometimes I want to be like them. I don't want to be like those famous people because they are wealthy and well known, I want to be like them because to me they have figured everything out. They know what they want to do with their lives and they are doing it.
Jesus started his ministry at 30 years old.
What was he doing before then? Why did he start his ministry at 30 years old?
Maybe because the time wasn't right. In some things I am not patient. I don't like to wait for things to happen. I like to do things right away. And when things don't happen the way I like, I look back and say well, maybe the time wasn't right for that to happen.
Jesus was probably the same way. He probably wanted to start his ministry right away. But maybe the time wasn't right and Jesus had to wait. Maybe Jesus was learning and observing and building the foundation for his ministry, and then when the time was right Jesus started his ministry.
I am about to turn 30 and I am ready.
Are you ready. Have you be struggling to find your path?
Have you been waiting to start? Have you been lost? Say, yes, and Jesus will lead you because Jesus is ready for you.
