You might think, didn’t I just read this passage a couple days ago?
Yes. Yes, you did.
It’s always good to revisit different texts. As you read and re-read the Bible, you’ll notice that things strike you differently. You may notice something today that you didn’t notice the other day. A different word or phrase may jump out at you.
The last time we looked at this passage, we looked at Jairus’ response.
Today, let’s take a look at Jesus.
A famous Christian teacher and author, Dallas Willard, was once asked to describe Jesus in one word. His word? Relaxed.
Think about that. Jesus was never in a hurry.
Jesus never rushed from one place to the other. Today’s passage is a prime example.
Jesus was on his way to heal a dying girl, but that didn’t stop him from pausing and having a moment with a woman who was in need. He wasn’t afraid to slow down - even when it seemed inconvenient.
While patience is something God ultimately grows in us, we can take after Jesus’ example and put ourselves in situations that demand patience. We can put ourselves in situations that require us to rely on God’s power to help us.
You can practice patience.
Here are just a few ideas on how to practice patience:
- Intentionally choose the longest line at the store.
- Walk slower.
- Drive the speed limit.
- Turn your phone on 'do not disturb' for a day, so you don’t feel like you have to immediately respond to messages.

We live in an age of speed and convenience. It seems as though we, as a people, are growing more and more impatient. Where does impatience stem from? How do we fight it? Join us over the next 10 days as we unpack that.
