Mark 8:22-26
1. Surely Jesus could have healed this man on the first try. Why didn’t He?
2. Has God ever done a work in you “in stages”? Explain.
3. If we understand God often chooses to work over time why do we get so impatient?

Acts 1:1-11
1. Jesus appeared to his disciples over a period of forty days. Why do you think He didn’t just immediately ascend to Heaven?
2. In verses 4 and 5 Jesus gave the disciples some important instructions about waiting. He said ““Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised”, Why doesn’t God just “do” what He is planning? What’s with all the waiting?
3. Meditate and pray on the meaning of “God’s Timing”. What is the Lord saying to you about “waiting on Him”?
