FAITH CAPSULE: Whatever God knows He either allows it or disallow it.

Esther 2

God is a God of times and seasons. When it was time for Joseph to be promoted from Prime Slave to Prime Minister, no devil under heaven could stop him. The brothers that sold him to slavery in attempt to deny him his dream, his God ordained divine assignment on earth were nowhere to be found. Are you afraid or concerned about the way things are going in your life? Is it where situation has positioned you that is causing you pain? As a child of God, fear is not what you need but prayer. We are to trust and hope the assurance of the word God as stated in the book of Exodus 14:14, “The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” That is clear enough for our understanding. All that a believer needs to do is to let God fight the battle, and the enemies that are visible and non-visible to us will never rise again. Above all, every pain shall be converted to gain.
With God, nothing goes by without Him knowing. Whatever God knows He either allows it or disallow it. God that is God of orderliness does have everything lined up according to time and season to maintain orderliness.
Esther did not and could not have become queen by accident but it happened at an appointed time during a season that was ordained by God. Esther came to the center of divine assignment when, “…Jew whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite. Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been captured with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother.” (Esther 2:5-7)  According to God’s timing, in God’s ordained season, Esther came into the country as a captive and became a captain among the queen of King Ahasuerus.
God’s way of operating is not man’s way. However, taking to God’s way by consciously obeying His direction or by entering into His way without one’s conscious choice is certain to deliver, to preserve and to promote man. God is not a failing God but a favorable God that cares for His creation.
Whatever or wherever situation or challenges is having you positioned today, hold on to God’s timing, it is the best. The book of Ecclesiastes 3:11settles it that, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” When His timing for you is around, the whole world will celebrate with you.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to remain patient in the face of ever situation.
