Between the Promise and the Return
Between the Promise and the Return
“It is not for you to know times or seasons…” (Acts 1:7)
“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven?” (Acts 1:11)
The disciples stood there staring into the sky, watching Jesus disappear. I imagine they were overwhelmed, hopeful, confused, maybe even a little stunned.
And Jesus had already told them something we still struggle to accept: the timing belongs to the Father.
We want to know when. When will God move? When will things turn? When will redemption feel closer than disappointment?
But heaven’s calendar is not ours to manage. And then the angels gently redirect them: Why are you just standing there?
In other words, don’t let hope become passivity.
Yes, he is coming back. That is certain.
But until then, we are called to pray, to witness, to love, to serve.
We look up in hope. Then we step forward in obedience.
We don’t control the seasons. We live faithfully within them.
