ForTheCauseOfChrist

John 5:7--The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

I find this verse so interesting, first he claims that he cant get into the pool without anyone’s help, then he later says ‘but while I am coming’---the earlier statement that there is no one to help him was more of an excuse for him then.

What if, instead of waiting for someone to Help him in, he could’ve chosen to wait nearer to the pool in PREPARATION for the stirring. That would’ve reflected how desperate he was wat. Or, he could’ve chosen to respond immediately when the stirring began.

Basically, I think sometimes we also take TOO LONG to respond to the spirit. I think when there’s a stirring in a heart, we should respond immediately, whether you’re a leader or not! And finally when we choose to respond, the stirring’s gone already. Sighhh..

Maybe this guy could’ve gotten in if he had come earlier, Maybe we could’ve gotten that miracle had we come earlier, maybe if we were more prepared, no matter how lame or pathetic we are—

If we were expectant, we would come prepared.

The heart of the Expectant-is prepared beforehand
