Mine hour is not yet come.

Pondering missionary work, I realized that Christ's mortal ministry was a designated time in his life.  He even had to remind his mother at 'a marriage in Cana of Galilee.'

"And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come." (Luke 2:3-4)

The following verses inspired the concluding thoughts last week:
  

JST, Matthew 3:24–26. Compare Matthew 2:23   
Jesus grows up and waits on the Lord before beginning His ministry.   
   
24 And it came to pass that Jesus grew up with his brethren, and waxed strong, and waited upon the Lord for the time of his ministry to come.   
25 And he served under his father, and he spake not as other men, neither could he be taught; for he needed not that any man should teach him.   
26 And after many years, the hour of his ministry drew nigh.   

Man has stages in life. Play, learning, work, family, retirement, & senior missions are an example. We should not feel pressured to do everything in the present time. Just do your best. Follow the Spirit, and trust in the mercy, love, and grace of Jesus Christ.
