What God has written

So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Don’t write, ‘The king of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am the king of the Jews.’ ”

Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.” (John 19:21-22)

Father, what Pilate wrote stood, despite the Jewish leaders’ objections.

How much more does what you say stand, no matter how people in this world object and rebel against you?

What you have written, you have written.

All that you spoke through the prophets concerning Jesus happened. (24, 28, 36-37)

That’s my hope.

This world is broken. This world has rebelled against you. But you have established your King. (Psalm 2:6)

This world crucified him, but you raised him from the dead.

And the day will come when he will come back and make all things new.

I wait for that day. I wait with hope. I wait with expectation.

For what you have written, you have written. And in your timing, all your words will be fulfilled.
