The Timing Of God

FAITH CAPSULE: Nothing stops God from moving when it is His appointed time to move.

Genesis 12

The timing of God is the central point where every area of our lives operates from. God’s timing is where man moves forward or become stagnated in the journey of life. The timing of God is the reason why man should be constantly attentive to the move of God. God does not go by our own timing and nothing stops Him from moving when it is His appointed to move.
When it was God’s time to call Abraham out into the center of his divine schedule age was never a considerable factor before God. It is written, “…Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.” (Genesis 12:4)  In God or with God, there is no time or age limit. At seventy five years old, he has passed the retirement age before God called him into divine schedule. Who would have thought of a journey of such magnitude for an aged man like Abraham? Are you considering your age as a barrier which is limiting you from going forward?
Moses, after forty years of living in one of the greatest palaces on earth, had no choice but to be moved at God’s appointed time. God did not call him like He called Abraham but he found himself in a situation that chased him out to where God called him. When Moses accidentally killed an Egyptian, Pharaoh heard about it and, “When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.” (Exodus 2:15) At age forty Moses’ situation forced him to run unknowingly in the direction of God’s plan for his life. Evidently, God is in everything.
Joseph had a very positive dream but for the dream to come to manifestation there had to be a process in place. Process can be unacceptably challenging and exceedingly difficult. At the young age of seventeen, Joseph unknowingly began his journey which brought his dream to manifestation. It was not Joseph’s plan or his timing to enter the journey of his life when he went to check on his brother as directed by his father. “Then he said to him, “Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem. Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What are you seeking?” (Genesis 37:14-15) Joseph, from wandering into entering the pit, he began a journey to the center of his divine schedule.
