The Timing of the Lord - August 11, 2017


Galations 4:4
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 

Today's Thought: God designs the timing of our lives; we just need to trust Him.


Yesterday a friend of mine called. She asked for an advice on how to deal the problem between her and her mother. They had a fight and her mother wouldn't want to talk to her. I told her simply not to stop loving her mother, but to allow her mother to consider the pain; then she she should court her mother again. I am deep believer in the timing of everything that should be done. There is always a time ordered by the Lord.

In this passage of the scripture, Paul talks of the "fullness of the time was come". There is a specific fulfillment of everything that God sets in order. The birth of Christ, even His death, was not just a spark of the moment, but the Lord designed it to be. The Bible says the steps of the good man are ordered by the Lord. So do our lives are designed by the Lord accordingly.

Living life could be difficult. It is not a walk in the park. Sometimes, it is grueling. Sometimes, it is a comic show. But we just need to trust in the timing of the Lord. We just need to wait for "the fullness of the time".
