In Acts 24, we encounter a powerful examination of spiritual readiness that challenges our relationship with convenience. The passage follows Paul under house arrest in Caesarea, where Governor Felix requests to hear about his faith. Paul's response is remarkable—he preaches about righteousness, self-control, and coming judgment. These aren't comfortable topics, yet they form the backbone of the gospel message. Felix's reaction becomes the heart of our spiritual challenge: he was afraid and dismissed Paul, saying he'd call when he had a 'convenient time.' This moment reveals a profound truth about spiritual growth—it rarely happens on our schedule. We're invited to consider whether we're only willing to engage with God when it fits comfortably into our lives, or if we're prepared to embrace the inconvenient work of transformation. Paul exemplified being 'ready in season and out of season,' a principle he taught young Timothy. The most meaningful aspects of life—deep relationships, personal growth, childbirth, exercise, authentic conversations—all require us to sacrifice convenience. Similarly, our spiritual journey demands we engage with God's call even when it disrupts our plans. The question lingers: are we saying 'later' to God's work in our lives because it seems inconvenient, never guaranteed we'll have that 'later' moment?
