God does things at the right time. You may need to hear that today. In your waiting know that God knows when He will come. But He will come. He will move.
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.” (Galatians 4 v 4-7)
God sent His Son.
This is God’s grace at its best because the timing is perfect.
God’s acts of grace are always in time.
He is never late.
He is not playing catch-up.
He is never too far ahead.
He is always on time.
When the time had fully come God sent His Son.
God is not a God of disorder. No matter how you are feeling right now. It is only for a time.
The KJV throughout the Bible has 4 important words … it came to pass.
You may be waiting for your miracle – it came to pass.
You may be waiting for your storm to end – it came to pass.
The timing of God’s grace is perfect.
In 7:40 Jesus is teaching in the Temple courts and the religious authorities tried to seize him “but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.” Later again Jesus teaching near the Temple declares, ’I am the light’ and they were furious, “Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come” 8:20. In 12:23 just after the Triumphal Entry Jesus declares, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” Prior to him washing the disciples’ feet in 13:1 “Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father.” And finally in what is the most beautiful of prayer moments in 17:1 “he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.” As Jesus was facing the crucifixion he would say, “Father the time has come” (John 17:1)
Partnership with the hour and the moment of God’s move is crucial for us.
God is still looking for your obedience to what He is doing, to the hour, the moment.
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.”
But when the set time had fully come. In history and in your own life. Look back on your story and you will find the timing of God. And He is not finished yet. You may be waiting but God is moving and it will be the set time.
