God definitely doesn't work on our time table! In fact He often chooses to execute His plan in intervals of 400 year periods of time. Why? Because He is not constrained by time and it is irrelevant to HIm. Eternity has no time. This is His focus.
Live for Jesus in the moment you have. Stephen got to preach only one sermon. It was his critical moment for eternity. He was ready for it. I pray we will all be ready to do the right thing in what ever moment God gives us.
Live strong.
I love that Stephen had all of this passion and wisdom bound up in his heart and yet he was humble enough to serve in the ministry of bread distribution in the church. He could preach, but the church had the preacher role already filled. Stephen waited tables with sermons stirring in his heart.
