Waiting for the right time...
You remember how it feels when you are a child and you are waiting on Christmas.
It seems like it will never come. Recently, my youngest son, David, and his wife Jacqui were waiting on their first child to be born, a girl, who just at the right time arrived on the scene to change their lives forever.
Ask any 9 month pregnant mother and they will tell you they are ready for that baby to arrive.
Talking to Zoe’s other grandpa we commented that “God is never early, but He’s always on time!”
Ephesians 1:10 says, And this is the plan: At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.
The children of God are waiting for the return of Christ, just like as kids we were waiting on Christmas… or at least we should be.
Psalm 105 reminds us that at just the right time God called Abraham out of Ur to call out a chosen people. At just the right time God sent Joseph ahead to Egypt to preserve the Jewish people through the famine. At just the right time God sent Moses as His instrument to deliver the Jews from slavery in the exodus.
A few weeks ago, we were talking about our spiritual plans for 2023. God has a plan and at the right time the LORD will come back and this messy old world will be fixed.
In the mean time, let’s work our plan to be obedient joyful witnesses of the blessings in Christ. Let’s take some folks with us. Now’s the right time.
Join us Thursday mornings at 6:30am for the FISHERSMEN ZOOM MEETING for fellowship, Prayer and Encouragement.
Blessings,
