PROCESS OF TIME
Exodus 2
The purpose of promise is to bring to pass the plan of God. Every promise has a time of manifestation. In between a given promise and the manifestation of a promise is the process of time. The process of time can be short, or it can be long because God controls time and timing. The book of Ecclesiastes said it well, “To everything there is a season. A time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Man can only change the hand of the clock. Changing the hand of clock is an attempt to move when and where God has not called for movement. Such a move is movement in a way that seems right to a man. Are you attempting to plan to move at your own time, or by your own timing? Proverb 14:12, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” If your move is not in the timing of God, you are moving in the turning of your clock. God never forgets His own, neither will He forsake His own. The challenges will be devastating when you moveat your own time. Does it look like the year is no longer on your side; discouragement is coming from left and right? Also it seems like you are no longer hearing from Him, colleagues are so far ahead of you and you think you are at the bottom of life. Remember, there are some that are still struggling with sever situations greater than yours. God is in control of all that goes back and forth, and He is also the God of the eleventh hour. When they say to you, “It is finished”, then He will show up to deliver you at the finishing line. He is the God of the eleventh hour. It is a great privilege to know that in the process of time, storms will come, hell will break loose, and challenges will be exceedingly painful. Trusting in the Lord with all your heart will carry every believer through the process of time. For the Children of Israel, among the process of time was Egypt, “Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.” (Exodus 2:23) Unlike other places in the process of time for them where they complained, in Egypt, they cried and call to God and God acknowledged them. In your process of time, come unto Him, and do not complain unto Him.
Prayer for today: O Lord my God and my Father, I ask this day for the grace to hold only onto You during the process of time, for the life that you have given to me.
