FAITH CAPSULE: Time of God demands waiting on Him.
Isaiah 40
Time belongs to God alone nit to any man.
Time belongs to God, but the clock belongs to man to turn forward or backward.
The appointed time of God is the fullness of His time.
Galatians 4:4 points out, “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman…”
God has made everything beautiful in its time, not by the clock of man. Ecclesiastes 3:11 records, “He has made everything beautiful in its time…”
Time belongs to God is the reason for you to trust and hope in Him at all times as Psalm 62:8 admonishes all, “Trust in Him at all times…”
Are you counting on God to wait on His time, or man to for clock?
It does not matter how long you monitor your clock, but it matters not to make your move until it is the timing of God for you.
Mind you to know that God is God.
God is not a slave master but a saving master. He alone is the perfect creator that knows time before time. God will not force you to focus on Him, but you focus on his face to reflect on you.
Time of God demands waiting on Him.
Waiting on God for His appointed time is encased in trust and hope in Him.
In a time of expectation from God, do not assume to move outside of the timing of God.
Waiting for the timing of God demands to be patient as Psalm 40:1 testifies: I waited patiently for the Lord, And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
James 5:7 encourages by adding persevering to the patient when waiting on the timing of God: Therefore, be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
The timing of God does not delay or disappoint to fail for one that waits patiently on Him.
In your waiting on the timing of God, do not compare but remain patient not to move outside of the timing of God.
Waiting on the timing of God and not move by comparing to others, give self to the admonition of Isaiah 40:31, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
In your waiting for the time of God, do not run where you are to walk, do not walk where you are to run.
Judging by your clock, does it seem that your destination experiencing a delay? Proverbs 14:12 warns against giving self to seems, there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
Keep the focus on the timing of God to discover that delay is not a denial to arrive at the destination.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you with the grace of the patient to be waiting on His time.
