You can’t just call somebody at 7:00am without thinking. It’s early. Maybe they’re still in bed – especially if they are in a different time zone. On the east coast, that would make it 4:00am! How inconvenient that would be. Or on the other side of the world, it would be dinner time. We are locked in to the limitations of our time zone. And that causes some big issues when you’re trying to meet deadlines or coordinate schedules. It would be kind of nice if time were not a factor.
When you turn to God through Jesus in prayer, it’s nice to know He’s not limited by any time zone. In fact you may be praying for someone whose crisis was yesterday – and God still hears your prayer. God is always in the present – no time zones. And even though you think you messed up big time last week, or month, God remains willing to help you. What you did back then may have consequences but He can still bring good out of it; because He works with no time zones. What a comfort. What an encouragement – that it’s never too late with God!
