I was flying out of BWI today, via Delta. I noticed something that made me think of Divine Priority. While waiting at my gate, about an hour before my flight, I saw passengers who were already lining up, in anticipation of boarding the plane. Others who were seated began to pack and join the line. They were afraid that if it was a full flight, there would be no space for their carry on luggage and they would be forced to check it.

As they started to queue, I sat in my seat, crocheting away, without a worry. This was because I knew I had booked a Priority ticket.  The flight is boarded in stages and those with a priority ticket board before others. Even if I queued with others, I would still be called ahead of most people. So, I sat without a worry.

Divine Priority

Our relationship with God should mirror that.

Let me make it personal. My relationship with God should be that way. Regardless of how anxious others are, I need to relax. Even when it seems as if those my age have gone farther than I have, relax. Friends all married with kids and you are not, relax. Don’t have the high level job you thought you’d haven’t now? Relax. Your peers have gone to have children and you’re still waiting, relax.

Regardless of who is anxious around you or the seeming delay, do not worry. It is just a matter of time. Regardless of who mocks and laughs at you, do not worry.

Who is he?

We occupy a place of divine priority with God. I mean, he created the earth and all needed to sustain us before creating man. While we yet sinners, he delivered is. He sent a piece of himself, his only son so that we will not perish. What he says he will do, is exactly what he does. He is the turnaround specialist that can change situations in a second. He is the miracle-working God who wants the best for us.

So, why worry. Sit back and relax (feel free to crochet away), and wait for God’s time.  When the going gets tough, hang in there. You have a priority relationship with God and you are a divine priority.
