His Time

Sarah couldn’t wait for the Lord to fulfill the promise of a child. She found a solution, but it turned into serious difficulties when God’s promise came in His time.

Waiting for God’s time is one of the most difficult things to do. The Preacher wrote of His time:

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 KJV)

Nope – we cannot find the beginning, or the end, for He is eternal.

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. (Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 KJV)

Why, then, do we become so impatient and ignore what is being given to us. Have we come to the point that we believe God does not care for us?

Have we forgotten why we love Him? We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19 KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 KJV)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV)

It’s not just one gospel writer that is trying to get the message across. God has / does / will love us forever. Time is of no importance when we understand that He is timeless.

Why, then, do we get in a rush and waste the time we have each day. We need to be stewards of our time as well as our finances.

In His time, we will receive what He has in store for us.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. (Psalms 27:14 KJV)
